Greetings from Alabama

oh cool, thanks alot for the tips, thats a great start. I was hoping to get the lug pattern switched over to something a little more common. What i plan on doing for the rear is simply removing the axles, removing the rear studs, welding up the original holes and drilling the 5x4.5" using a wheel for a guide. this way i can go to a 16" wheel. The 5x4" is very very limited in wheel selection last time i looked.

Its a small world, Surprised how many of you are so close to me. Hope your health problems let up and let you get this cuda of your going!
