Although it's not really the best answer, you can even have your axle holes welded up and re-drilled for 5 lug if you are on a budget. Then you just re-drill your drums. The best way is to just get new aftermarket axles. Dutchman Motorsports in Portland, OR will sell you some for about $230 a pair and they say they are about 30% stronger than stock. Then all you do is get some new drums.

Im sure the place you suggested is a fine place...BUT... we have board vendors that pay a fee to this site to sell their wares here. Remember it helps keep this place running. Most of our vendors also sell these same axles. No Im not a board vendor but I do believe in supporting this site...Look at all the excellent information it gives us. Even made a few friends here...
