Some questions please

I recently bought a 70 Chevy C10 step side from a guy who lets say isn't a friend any longer. Shouldn't have trusted him but I'll spare everybody the details. What I'm working on at the moment is the front brakes. Seems this twit decided to re drill the 6 lug rotors and install studs in the 5X5 pattern. Well this didn't go very well because he used 3/8 studs and they weren't long enough. Anyway I found this before the wheels fell off and replaced the rotors with 1975 C10 5X5 1/2" stud rotors. The only thing I'm not really satisfied with is the brake hoses. They seem to be a little short and I have nothing to go on to prove they are stock or not. Could someone post a picture of a stock 70 front suspension showing the brakes so I can tell what this guy has done? After I finish the front I have to pull the axles and drums to replace both because he drilled and re studded them too. There was only 1/4" of the stud in the wheel nut holding the wheels on and on the rear he machined the rim to fit over the axle flange ruining the rim. Only thing holding the rear wheel on was the studs and only 1/4" into the nuts. These should be 1/2" studs. Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also can anybody identify this wheel?
