The '53 3100 that I'm restoring came with wide chrome ralley wheels. They're sharp looking but I'm trying to restore the truck to an original look.

I'm having trouble finding original, 6 lug wheels (although I haven't completely exhausted all of the possibilities on the swap meet page, yet). All I can find are 15" 6 lug wheels or 5 lug 16" wheels.

I'm considering converting from 6 lugs to 5 lugs. I figure that this won't effect the original "look" of the truck.

Has anyone had any experience doing this? I expect that I'm going to have to replace the front and rear brake drums and the rear spindles. I don't think that the drums will be too much of a problem but is there a spindle that I can put in place of the originals without making any other modifications?
