this is what I did on the front of my truck....find a set of 51-53 chevy belair backing plates and hubs and drums and take off the old huck brakes and backing plates and put the 51-53 backing plates on your axle the hubs and drums will fit right on you're spindles with new roller type bearings and not only will you have 5 lug but also you'll be updating you're brakes to bendix brakes...(modern brakes) I did it to my 46 1/2 ton and have no problems at all, and its easy to do... dont waste time and money on trying to drill...it never works right... on the rear you might be able to find an early 50's chevy car with the torque tube set up and just buy the rear with the 5 lug already in it then just do whatever modifications you need to install it...any driveshaft shop can help with that
