Axle redrill ideas

I'm using 78 C10 HD brakes on my truck. I have come across a nice set of billet wheels that are ford 5x5.5! I already ordered the Moser rear axles for that bolt pattern for the 12bolt, however anybody got any ideas on how to get the front rotors/hubs done? I don't have the room for adapters, and I was hoping to redrill but not sure if there is enough room. Wondering if anybody knew of a rotor assy that is close enough to work.

Re: Axle redrill ideas

The correct bolt pattern might be able to be re-drilled on a 5x5 rotor if there's enough material. But.... what about the hub dimensions? If the wheels are hub centric, that will be another obstacle you might need to over come.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Lug centric, talked to Moser today they offer the redrill for $90, I may have a new set off hub/rotors drop shipped to them. For the rear they just send out a set of moser axles with that 5x5.5 pattern. Just have to get the rear chopped 3" both sides and find some rotors and calipers for the new bolt pattern on the rear.

Late model Dodge truck for rotors/calipers? They might work....
