On a side note, are you switching to 5 lug for wheel selection or for disc brakes?

So I have a potential lead on a 71 C10 "complete" front suspension (crossmember included) with with disk brakes and a complete rear axle from the same truck. I will have to see how much the guy is willing to deal. I think he might be asking a bit much right now at $700 (rear axle comes with trailing arms, springs and back half of the frame).
Yes, I am looking to switch from 8 lug to 5 kug for both reasons. Want disk breaks and I want to have some options for wheels.
Question for after I do this conversion. Are these C20 rearends in much demand?
