You can buy 5 lug axles for your rear end (with a spider gear kit) but the front is more of a challenge unless you are doing a disc brake conversion. Then it is as easy as finding a 71/72 C10 pick up and swamping the complete cross member as they are disc brake with 5 on 5.

Hope this helps,

..I'm not sure i follow you, I'm sorta dense.. I do want disc brakes all way around but are you saying there's no conversion kit offered for the original 6 lug pattern...What do you mean "swamping the complete cross member"??
