Re: lug pattern....

For the rear, the axles from a 4x4 model K5, K10 or K15 can replace the axles from your C10.

When I checked the LMC catalog, I was surprised to see that the axle P/N's were the same for several types of rear ends. It might be cheaper to go this route than to purchase adapters.

I have no experience with the front.

Re: lug pattern....

For the front you can use 67-72 hubs and rotors.

Re: lug pattern....

I used 4x4 6 lug axles and drum for the rear. For the front you can buy a 6 lug rotor.
