Need some tips for my 1967 SWB

Alright guys, what I have is a 1967 swb pickup. Just like everyone else on here I have an "image" in my head for what I would really like my truck to look like after all my money is gone and spent on it. What I am really aiming for on this truck is kind of a pro-street appearance. Staggered tires, I really like the weld draglites rims. I also am going to convert the truck from 6-lug to 5-lug. With that being said, what am I looking at here guys? As far as converting 6lug to 5lug what am I going to have to do? This is kind of a budget build as I go type of project, but I am not looking to cut any corners. If I'm gonna do it, I want to do it right. The truck has a 12bolt rearend in it now, and I have a spare 12bolt with 5 lug axles in it. The bad news, the spare 12bolt has a shredded carrier. Another thing I have around is a Ford 9in rearend. Is that a good or bad route? Of the research I have done it appears I will have to do some custom work with the rear fender wells. Any comments on easy effective ways to do that? I was looking at the weld draglite rims the other day and couldnt find any with 5x5 bolt pattern. Does anyone know if they make them in 5x5? If anyone has any helpful hints or tips it would be greatly appreciated!!
