Howdy. I just picked this truck up over the weekend. There is so much information here. I've spend a couple days just checking out builds and threads.
I do have a question though. I have a friend that is scraping a 1980 1/2 ton and he said I can have the front end to upgrade to disc brakes and power steering and power brakes. I am thinking of just swapping the whole cross member. I have seen some people do that without problems but what I want to know is if I want to keep 6 lug wheels can I just change the rotors from 5 lug to 6 lug? Will that be a problem? What are the advantages of 5 lug VS 6 lug?

And how do I add a picture?
