That looks clean with the new grill and lights "frontline72"! When will you be doing the conversion from 8 lug to 5 lug? As for the better brakes on the 8 lug set up, you can actually use the bigger calipers from the 8 lug set up and bolt them up to your 5 lug drop spindle but I guess for the rear you will have a smaller rear drum ones you change to a 10 bolt rear. You can always upgrade to a rear disc brake set up which can be done fairly cheap with factory GM parts. Keep the pictures coming!! Rob
