Any one out there to confirm my wheel bolt pattern? I so 5 x 5. Measuring back side of lug 1 to dead center lug 3. Someone said the 440 version has different axles?

nope, they all had the same pattern, 5 on 4 1/2 bolt circle....

Ok, am I correct on the method to obtain the pattern size? Thanks for the quick response.

not certain on how they measure them...

i think you are measuring correct, although ive heard both what you describe and center to center of lugs 1 to 3. it should definitely be 5x4.5 if it still has the 70's stuff under it.

Ok, sounds good thank you both for the help.

When measuring a 5 lug bolt pattern you measure from the outer edge of the lug at the 12 o'clock position down to the middle of the the lug at the 4 o'clock position. This method is used only for 5 lug wheels and if you have more or less the measuring method will change.
