picked up these 22" transports (6x5.5) for my 86 c10.want to swap axles rather then use adapters in rear. Wondering if k10 axels and drums will work for me?

Cool looking wheels! And as far as the axles pretty sure you can just swap the axle shafts out of a k10 for the rear but don' think the front is as easy. Im sure someone will give you a definite answer though.

K10 axles and drums would work. Or complete rear end swap would be fine

When I had my c10 I looked in to doing this but never could fine a good answer in the front. I remember the Astro van rotors but thought that was for a rear axle disc breaks could be very wrong though. I like that kit there that would make it pretty simple just is nice to go the the parts store and buy rotors if you needed to instead of having to order them.

Gotcha.... so a k10 with a 10 bolt will work with my 10 bolt c10
that is correct unless it is 89ish-91. Towards end of production spline count changed in 10 bolts. But complete rear end will still swap in as long as it is from a square body.

Apparently it was the rear, just took a peak at rock auto and the 6 lug astro rotors are slip on like newer vehicles.
