Re: you want to change your 5X5 bolt pattern on 73-87 disc to 5X4.75

Most F-body guys upgrade to the 1LE brakes. There are kits out there to upgrade to a '98-'02 F-body front brake(12x1.25 -basically the same as your truck brakes) or C5/6 brakes which are 13x1.25. There are upgrades from there to Z06 or Z51 brakes but the parts get spendy...

I've been researching this a little. It looks like the aftermarket C5 upgrade brackets might work on the light duty spindles. That is, if the dust shield/backing plates interchange between big car/light truck, then a bracket may already exist to adapt the 'Vette stuff.

More to come when I get some time...
