Disc brakes up front get you better, more consistent, braking ability & 5-lugs. The rear can go several ways: used 5-lug rear end swap, re-drill the original 6-lug axles to 5-lug, or new 5-lug 'replacement' axle swap.

The front swaps depend on if you do 'one stop internet shopping' or if you're more of a used parts harvester. I've done disc swaps using 73-87 donor parts for about $300; internet kits can run up to about $700 depending on options. The rear stuff is subjective. Some properly equipped automotive based machine shops can weld-up & re-drill 6-lug axles to the pattern you want for around/up to $200; but they'll still be 45+yr old parts. The rear end swap is only as good as the rear getting swapped. If the current rear end is good, replacement 5-lug axle 'kits' go for around $300-400 bux but you get new, stronger axles w/zero wear.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

I haven't bought them yet and I'm nowhere ready for them either, but I found these the other day and really like them. This is the wheel, my truck as it looked when I got it, and a photoshop. The wheel are 17x8 with 5x5 lugs.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

I know the wheel is kinda hard to see, but it's a stock steel from a 92 C/K. I painted an old school GMC logo over the bowtie on the centercap to fit the truck.

This is really the best pic I have that shows my wheels and no, that's not my lady. She posed with the truck for an online magazine.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

Plan on switching to these 15x7, painted Ansen slotted mags in the rear mounted on 275/70/15s and am looking for and pair of 15x5 gray torques to run in the front. What do you guys think? Can anyone point me in the direction of a good pair for a good price?

Just your average G78 Cokers on powder coated original steel wheels. They were supposed to be metallic copper.....but turned out a little closer to root beer. I like the color, so I didn't fuss about it.
