stock rearend with 5x4.75??

I've found a good amount of info for the front to make it 5x4.75
and to make the rear 5x5 with discs. What I am wondering is making my rearend from 6 lug to 5x4.75 and running disc brakes. I've seen the brackets that captainfab makes and they look great, but everything I find on the discs is converting them to 5x5 pattern. Anybody know of a bracket/caliper/rotor combo for the rear? I am going to have my stock axles re-drilled. Thanks for any help!

The only thing that comes to mind with that hole pattern is a s10 blazer with factory discs. But I dont think the axle tubes are the same O.D.
I went through the whole re-drillin the axles, hubs, wheels, etc. thing, and nobody wanted to do it. I tried every machine shop in middle Ga.

I've got a Ford rear end (car) in one of my trucks and was trying to decide what to do.

Check these dudes out

It's a drill guide that you bolt up to your current bolt pattern and drills a new set of holes as you re-position the guide around to each of the studs. Bang out the old studs and in with new pattern wheel studs, and boom. New pattern.
here's the whole chart of what you can adapt to and from:

I know it`s an old thread, but did you come up with something? I am looking in to the same option now myself.
