The Rim
It was a 2500 2wd Light duty truck, which used the 6 lug pattern front and 14SF 6 lug rear instead of the 8 lug like the rest of the 2500s.

Swapping the front to 5 lug is as simple as using the 5 lug 1/2 ton rotors, they are a direct swap. The rear can be redrilled, or swapped for the smaller 10 bolt 5 lug rear. It is a pretty quick/easy swap, just the same as swapping the 67-72 trucks from 6 to 5 lug or vice versa.

Looks great!
