I wont say it is the best option ...... but it is a reasonable option. Having the axles and drums redrilled to 5 on 5 and the centers turned down to fit the 5-lug wheel cost me $85.00 locally , just need to make sure the axles arent wore out first . Now to me the best option for a fleetside truck is to go ahead and put the wider 71-72 rear axle in if possible. Opens up alot more options for wheels with the correct backspacing .
