Need some advice..

here's my dilemma. I have some nice Weld brand 6 lug wheels, but recently converted over to disk in the front. ( 5 lug big 3/4 )
now I want to convert over to drop spindles from the setup back to a 6 lug rotor.
question 1. -> can I get 6 lug rotors with a 7/16 stud?
question 2. -> Can I re-use the stock calipers if I do find the above item?

Any help would be greatly appreciated - I want to get my truck looking cool again - now I feel like I should be hauling hay and screaming YEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAW and blaring country in it.
(nothing against the above by the way- just prefer to do that in my '69 charger ya' know.)

yeeeehaaaaaawww. plink - ( chewin' tabacco hits the floorboard)

I would think you could get a parts guy to cross reference a set of 7/16 studs X whatever hole diameter your rotors have.If the holes are smaller any machine shop should be able to drill them to accept the 7/16 studs.
