Great points, Jimmy. The truck is going to be a street driven truck, that I’m building for/with my son for him to drive (likely as his daily). He turns 10 next week, so I’ve got the time for a slower build pace. The goal is to have a well mannered street truck, with the character of a classic. To that end, I am doing an IFS for updated suspension geometry, for power rack and pinion and disc brakes, and improved clearance with a new crossmember (all for drivability - I have had several classics with drum brakes and the old center link style steering, and know how they drive - don’t want to put a new driver in that situation). I think that the biggest goal with the 5 lug conversion is wheel selection. Most of the IFS kits do convert to 5 lug with disc brakes. I am a big fan of being able to use off the shelf parts, so there won’t be an exotic big brake setup, or special one-off parts used. I can see the use of the truck evolving down the line, so I want to try and build in some flexibility, if he decides to auto cross it, or do something slightly more than street drive it.
