another idiot with wheel questions

Ok my truck is at my dads in alabama right now and i havent actually seen it yet...and my dad hasnt taken the center caps of the wheels to see if it is 6 lug or not. I am assuming that since it is 4 wheel drum that it is 6 lug right? I really like the staggered look

Question 1?
What are is the bolt patterns for a 1970 5-lug and 6 lug.

Question 2?
Centerline has some crazy deals right now so what size and backspacing rim should i order for 18 front and 20 rear (20x9.5 rear and 18x8 front)

Question 3?
If i go all 20s what backspacing front and rear.

Question 4?
22s in back 20s in front
I now that these questions get asked a lot but there is so much about it in the search topics its hard to seperate fact from fiction. Please help lol
THanks
Jimmy

Re: another idiot with wheel questions

1970 didn't have 5 lugs - those started the next year, in '71. It was a 5x5 bolt pattern.
6-lug pattern (IIRC) is 6x5.5.

More than likely it is a 6-lug.

"so what size and backspacing rim should i order for 18 front and 20 rear (20x9.5 rear and 18x8 front)"
"If i go all 20s what backspacing front and rear."
You can search for this, as it has come up several times.
