If I was doing this I would order the 5.5" backspace wheel , saves you having to run spacers in the rear. Depends on how low you go in the rear as to whether you have to notch the frame or not.
If you have converted to stock 71 or newer brakes you will probably have to modify the snout on the rotor ( 1.25" rotor) to fit in the front wheels so you dont have to use a spacer. Should be a complete bolt on deal otherwise. There is some aftermarket brake setups that require no mods to the rotor. 81 and newer light duty brakes ( 1" rotor) dont require the mod, but you would need spindle , caliper, rotor etc.
But you also have to be using a 71-72 rearend to make it work. 70 rearend is going to be to narrow.
