Converting a 10 bolt front axle from 6 lug to 8 lug

I have an 86 K10 with 6 lug, 10 bolt axles and 3.73 gears. I use this truck to play a bit on the farm but mostly as a light duty work truck. I have a Dana 60 rear axle with 3.73 gears that I would like to exchange for the rear axle in my truck. Since it has 8 lugs, I would like to convert my front axle to 8 lugs as well. I know GM used the 10 bolt axles under a lot of 3/4 ton trucks back then but I can't seem to find information on parts to make this conversion. Can anyone offer any advise on sourcing components or atleast let me know what all I would need to swap in order to make this conversion?

Thanks,
