because of the offset you would be better off running spacers. bora can do the spacers with bore on the back side for the 63-70 hub and later hub ring on the outside of the spacer.
a better ay would be to convert to disc up front and run cpp 6 lug rotors, they already have the smaller hub size then on the back either run spacers or have the axle turned at a machine shop to fit the later model wheel bore.

the wheel hubs can and have been machined, I think some people have also used a ball bearing step bit in a router to open up the bore on aluminum wheels making them lug centric

I have seen so many of those type wheels on our 67-72 trucks it can't be that hard of a thing to do. I've seen both steel and all sorts of the alloy wheels. I have a set of the Suburban/Tahoe wheels that came in on one I've junked planning to use them, So I too am needing the info on what it takes.
