Without changing the a-arms and spindles you will not be able to get a 5-lug rotor to work. ECE does sell a spindle conversion kit that utilizes your existing 3/4 ton a-arms/ball joints and allows you to either install a 5 or 6 lug rotor. Your'e probably better off finding a 71 to 87 1/2 ton and grab the front suspension setup, brakes and all. In the long run replacement parts will be easier and cheaper to find....

good luck!
