I gather by your Icon you have a 76??? If so Speedway has a rotor that is a five lug replacement for your setup. New not redrilled and does not require changing anything else. sorry of course this is for the front.

I just did the front 5 lug swap with speedway rotors...took all of an hour
I did the Speedway conversion on the front, and got 5-lug 28 spline rear axles from Moser. They included retaining plates from an 8.8 rear that fit fine, and used early 90's Ranger brake drums. Fits like a dream.

I've got less then $100 in my parts for my Front end swap!
