Thats old school stuff! I had a 87 Hardbody back in the day. Overload leaf removed and 4" blocks, turned down torsion bars cut bump stops, but I did buy new shocks so I had a decent ride. As far as the five lug conversion it is not too had if you can get your spindles machind to use toyota rotors and then swap in a toyota rear from an early 80s model because they are narrower. My suggestion is to go to the local tire shop they is selling lots of the 24s and 26s on the new escalades and see if you can pick up some 17" caddy factory rims. You can get the polished and chrome if you are lucky!

I want to know how you afford the property tax on all of your trucks. Assuming your state has that. Also, how do you afford to license and insure them as well?

I want to see a picture of you touching it, and not some chopped picture.

Yes they will. Also toyota 4x4, mitsubishi truck/suv, nissan truck/suv almost any 6lug except for the dodge dakota has the same bolt pattern. For the wheel adapters check out AIM industries on line or pickup a copy of Minitruckin magazine and look through all the ads. I have subscribed to it since it hit news stands in 1988. It is the best mini mag out there!

Make sure to have all the vehicles you've purchased, or have been given in the last 6 months in the picture as well.
