My '65

That is my thought too. I kind of like stopping when I hit the brakes.

Switching to 5 lugs was originally the only way to get disc brakes up front. But now you can get aftermarket 6 lug rotors to fit the '73-'87 spindles, or you can also do it using OEM parts. Here's a thread that explains a lot of the ins and outs of the swap whether you go 5 lug or 6.

If I had to do it all over, I would change to 6 lug discs. It just wasnt available when I did my suspension in 2000. You can pick up some larger wheels from a newer truck now that will look great and serve your purpose at a lower cost that the billet and other chrome fancy wheels.

I know a guy who spent more on his wheels and tires than he did on his whole truck, over $4000.00 on wheels alone, man what I could do with that$. But it is his money, he can do what he likes.

I always see beaters with nice wheels(usually 22's). Cracks me up. I appreciate your input about the conversion too. I am definately trying to keep the cost down.
