Something a little different: 5 lug to 8 lug! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I searched, honest... Most people are ripping up 8 lugs to go 5 lug though, so the posts are no help at all.

Anyone else tried to go from 5 lug to 8 lug?

What all is entailed in the conversion?
- Rear axles
- Rear brakes
- Front spindle???
- Front hub and rotor
- Front calipers?

Any help is appreciated!!!

The 6.2 diesel conversion is coming together slowly. More on that later. Still collecting parts.

I plan to set this up for towing the '48 Mansion trailer... And a girl friends '68 C-10 drag truck!!! :P

Thanks!
