Default Changing from 6x5.5 to 5 lug pattern?

i have seen a truck on here that was originally a 6 lug and now is set up for racing with a 5 lug pattern all around and weld drag stars all around. i realize the back can be changed with a rear end swap but how about the front?

i would like to do the same to mine and need help. thanx.

You can get axles done from moser for 28x bucks, then you need to get rotors plugged and drilled on the obs 5 lug pattern. The front you need to have 6 lug hubs plugged drilled, also rotors. I started doing this, have front hubs, rotors, but have yet to do the rear.
