Default 5 lug conversion questions?

4 questions on 5 lug conversion
1) What vehicles can I get 28 spline axles that fit so I can use my stock diff?
2) I know that people use some sort of ranger axles, so i assume they use ranger drums, will they fit my stock break shoe setup or does that all need changed
3) I have heard you can use Mark 7 rotors, is that direct bolton with no modification, and if i were going to use the front spindles from a 94-up mustang do they need to be off a GT, or will V6 spindles work.
4) Where could i get the spindles and how much do they cost usually?

V6 spindles will work as well. You can buy them new for a round $125 each or Mustang Parts Specialties sells the kit for $399. This is fro front only. I'm not sure exactly what year you need from the ranger, I went with 31 spline mosers with an Eaton posi. Good luck.

Here's how I did it.

Rear axles? Strange Engineering.

Front? Ranger rotors. Need to take approx. .050" off of the outside diameter to clear the caliper brackets. Any good machine shop can do that for a song and a dance.

Now here's where it gets tricky, cuz I'm gettin old and my memory is leavin me. When ya put the ranger rotors on the Stang spindles, you have to use 1 Stang bearing, and 1 Ranger bearing. This is where the problem is. I don't remember which is which. I THINK, I reiterate, THINK Stang innner, Ranger outer. Also have to use dust caps off of the Ranger.
