No reason to do a conversion-on-top-of-conversion.

Also, no reason you have to keep stock truck brakes for 5x5. See all of CaptainFabs rear disc conversion options.
Agreed you don't have to keep 5x5 but if you can find the wheels you want it maybe less work.

I am not concerned about the track width as I will re barrel 3 piece wheels.

My concern is front to rear proportioning with a ~13" rotor 2 piston PBR up front. Will a C5 rear or LS1 fbody rear setup over power the rear?
