The gentlemen above nailed it, just need to call and get a truck axle drilled with 5x4.75. You can also redrill the axle flange, but you will lose a bit of strength. I'd recommend the new axle if it were my truck/life.
I disagree.
The truck market is HUGE.
Never have the 60-87 and 88-98 trucks been this popular.
There is a giant market from wheel manufacturers for the 5x5 truck pattern.
Just ask American Racing, USMag, Intro, Raceline, Billet Specialties, HHBB, and more.
There’s a ton of standard AND big brake kits for the 5x5 pattern.
Just my opinion, but trucks are hotter than any group of cars now.
