Rear Axle question

So I have given up on trying to sell the 8 3/4 van axle I have at the house. My question is can it, once it is cut down, be converted to a small bolt pattern, using small bolt pattern axles. Is the end of the axle set up to recieve either big or small bolt pattern axles ? Can I redrill the 11 inch drums.....


I know it is another one of my crazy ideas.....

Buy a Ford 9 out of a Maverick, and redrill the 4.5 flanges. Its almost a bolt in, about 1/2 inch off at the springs.
