6 lug? 5 lug? or both?
So I have a 55' 3100 with a TCI Must II front clip and what I believe is a 10 bolt truck rear end. My question is what would the most economical solution as far as which bolt pattern to run. The fronts are 5 X 4 3/4" and the rear is 6 lug. The short term solution is to run both with a rally wheel that has caps to hide the mismatched bolt pattern. In the long run, I'd like to get a set of 5 or 6 spoke wheels. the options so far are..
- remove the axles and have them drilled out to 5 X 4 3/4" - buy the TCI 6 lug disc conversion. The problem with the first option is the cost and time may outweigh buying a new (wrecking yard) rearend. The second option would be nice except, the only part I need from the kit is the 6 lug rotors. So, when i eventually have to replace the rotors, I would assume I'd have to re buy the kit just replace the rotors. Does anyone know of a company that makes 6 lug rotors that will fit? I've looked at CCP and TCI and they come as a kit. The other option may to be replace the axles with 5 lug. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just have the rear axles drilled to 5 lug any machine shop can do it and cheaper than buying six lug conversion, plus more options on wheels on 4 3/4 pattern. I was going to go with six lug at first but if you use stock wheels than depending on rims you have to use tubes.

Drill the rear axles to match front.
