diff. between 6 lug & 8 lug knuckles

[chasone64]

I have a freind that will give me a pass side flat top d44 knuckle!!!
Only problem it's off a 6 lug d44.
What is the difference, if any, between a 6 lug and an 8 lug knuckle. It's not close enough for me to look at & don't want to drive that far if it's not worth it...
Any info is appreciated!!

the knuckle them selves are the same, its everything else outward from the knuckles. everything will interchange also.

Isn't the TRE taper bottom-up vs. top-down?

As U2Slow points out, it's important to have matching knuckles, unless you're doing high steer. If you can, get BOTH knuckles from your friend.

The 6-vs-8 lug thing is a non-issue. The spindle and rotor are the deciding factors there.

That's what I thought - thanks.
