can we switch to 6 lug on front Cheaply???
since the aftermarket and used wheels are readily available for 6 lug is there a cheap and easy way to change the front to 6 lug on 81-87 models.. I can easily switch axles in the rear to give me what i need.. lemmeknow, thanx , crossy

Dave it should be a piece of cake. The 67-71 guys have been doing it for years. They use 73-87 front end parts to upgrade to 5 lug front ends. Noi reason why you can't go the other way...

I thought about 67-70 spindles but i think the 81-87 'thin rotor' trucks used metric sized bearings, spindles.
