I would like to keep the 8 lug stuff too, it just seems that wheel cyl. and drums are very difficult to find and for the orig. rear. I want to keep it as orig. as possible, but I want a reliable driver. I intend to pull a trailer with it and I will be adding and overdrive transmission. So I really need the stopping power that comes with modern brakes do deal with todays crazy drivers. I have also considered 6 lug wheels as well and I will continue weighing my options. Thanks!
