5 lug lsd swap for a flat body

Post by airbats801 »

I figured I'd see if anyone is interested in a rare 5 lug flatbody setup from here in the states. There was a 85.5 intercooled flat body with 5 lug that popped up in the yard the other day.

I can pickup the whole setup for around 500. I have no idea what shipping would be though.

You're gonna have to send them rotors too, unless they can order some widebody rotors.

Rotors, hubs/lugs, and caliper brackets. That should do it.

I was going to send the whole deal. Anyhow, I guess you guys got 5 lug? Never knew that. We only got them on flatbodies for half a year. Probably the same stuff.

The Euro spec and most Jap spec Starions from 85ish onwards all had 5 stud it seems.

quite a bit of difference in the tailights.

Here is the standard conquest usa tail. I have no idea if your wide and narrowbody tails are different. All i know is I like the amber part on the uk widebody is aw.
