No car rims with 6 holes that come to mind.

Your correct there.  71 or so the 14 bolt rearend was the last year on a 3/4

6 holers can be found on 4x4s and some 2wd heavy duty rigs.

You kidding? The governement let up its claws on a big tax grab? Not a

ordered parts from the US, my final cost was up by 48 percent. (forty
