Lug conversion - What does it Require? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck is a 3/4 ton 2wd rig. I want to do a lug conversion because I want to build what most consider a 'street' truck (This includes a faster drivetrain - dont need the 3/4ton torque figures, and need the ability to get LOW as well as a wide variety of 5 or 6 lug Wheel options ).

When it comes to a rear end I require a lower gear ratio as compared to the 3/4 ton rear-end's 70 mph top speed [from what I've experienced so far] (paired with the Muncie 4). I believe I will be able to source a bolt-up 3.63, 67 C10 Coil Spring rear end with a 6 lug pattern. If this bolts right up that will solve the rear lugs.

As far as the front...how would you go about doing this?
