I've never seen an 8" with 5.5 bolt pattern. 8.8 sure...but not 8". A 9" from a pickup would be perfect. That's a good plan, GB, and you'll be glad you did it.

I had one out in SoCal about 40 years ago (was going to use the axles in a banjo build) . . . I believe I still have the 28 spline axles in my Mom's garage.
