Re: 6 lug to 5 lug

It's just about the same as converting a C-20 over. I did my 72 suburban from 8 lug to 5 lug, and I had to find a 71-72 rear end, and 71-72 front end.

I could have saved some money if I thought about it, but at the time I didn't realize. Instead of buying a 71-72 complete front end I could have just bought the spindles, upper/lower ball joint, and the tie rod end.

The only difference in going from drum to disk, as others have said is to get the brake booster, proportioning valve, and the calipers that go with them.
