5 lug to 6 lug??

I have seen where people have converted 2wd 6 lug trucks (up to '70 or so) to 5 lug. I was wondering about going the other way? I wouldn't mind having 6 lug on my 2wd so I could swap wheels from my two 4wd 's around with this one. Is this possible or am I high??? I am assuming there were disc brake trucks in the late 60's and early 70's?

Early Classic Enterprises make a 6 lug rotor for the front. You would also have to swap the rearend for a 6 lug.

I'd give anything to have the 5 lug system.
