I was thinking about building a trike useing this chopper thing frame that I aquired. Seeing no one else wants it. But what my question is has anyone triied useing a 4 wheeler live axle to build a trike? I think that I can make it work but am wondering if any of them share lug nut patterns with a common automobile wheel! Any info anyone could supply might cause me to seak out this project more.

I'd check your state's regulations before you get too far. I know Michigan requires a differential on trikes.
