Who makes the best big bolt lug pattern rear Axel conversion kit for my 69 Dodge Dart Swinger? Stock 340 engine. Or can I have mine redrilled. But then I'd need to figure out the drums and brakes I'd need.
 
dr. diff




or have yours re-drilled (with screw in lug studs) and drill the drums at the same time.
 
Bbp axle/brake conversion (what I did):
Distance between the bearing and the axle flange is larger on bbp, need bbp brakes.

Or, Dr Diff makes BBP axles for SBP brakes, and sells new re-drilled drums.

Note: the A-Body axles listed on his website are 5 x 4.5.

Per Dr Diff:
Converting rear drum brakes from SBP to BBP

The A-body axles listed on my website will not fit stock 5 x 4" bolt pattern brakes with re-drilled drums, but If you leave me a note in the transaction, I will ship you a pair that will fit.

I can also supply a pair of new, re-drilled drums for $150 pair, plus shipping.
 
I had my axles and drums redrilled years ago. They are still in use today. I'm sure there many options now a days.
 
Or can I have mine redrilled.
You could have axles redrilled as well as the drums. Axles need to be spot on. The drums are hub centric and not as critical as the axel for stud location.
There is not much left of the flange outboard of the studs. I have screw in studs. Consider stud head clearance with brake parts as well.
