I have not had any experience with changing the two.I figured G.L.Perry would have jumped on this one.
Have you checked any reference books on this interchange?

If I'm not mistaken, I think that there is a brake drum that will fit right on your existing spindles and rear that is 5 lugger.

Jim Carter knows about this and he's the one that tipped me off to it.
