Default An axle question I couldnt find an answer for
Just picked up a vho rear end. Have truck star 15x10 on order. If the don't fit over the9.5" drums could I swap everything to a 10 bolt drums backing plates and all?

The drum brakes are the same between a 10 bolt and the AXN 14 bolt.

Yes I believe it will. I think it clocks the caliper at a funny position because the mounts are clocked differently but it functions fine still.

I think he made brackets specifically for the drum brake axles so the caliper would be clocked appropriately
