Hey guys! I am going to be buying a 5 lug 1983 sunrader coming up soon here. I have the opportunity to stop and do a 6 lug swap basically on my way home. It’s a factory 6 lug front and back 1 ton flatbed truck still in tact. I have spoken to a knowledgeable member and he says the front spindles will not fit on my 83. So I just plan on doing the rear 6 lug conversion. Besides u bolts (and what size do I need), sway bar, and possibly swapping the rear drive shaft flange from the 87 to the 83 will I need?

Listed my Chinook Newport on eBay :)

Thanks Linda! As a longtime member, I am trying to be as honest as possible in the description. I put a few videos on too so that people know that are bidding on a project. She’s certainly not perfect, but you could get in it and camp this weekend if you chose. I see the truck as a bonus! The auction is really for the shell -
Just thought I’d drop this here in case anyone was looking for a good summer project or shell swap candidate https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F112854279680

So I’ve been hunting for rims for the Newport and I found these. Same size as my rears (15x6), but I’m concerned about the backspace and hub size. Anyone know if these will work for me?
-
Oh I gotcha so you think the current tires might be the wrong size? Someone told me the stock chinook wheels were wide
-
Problem is the front rims are 8.5 wides. I've only found one tire available and it's a load range C which is ok for the front, but wouldn't want that on the rear
-
DARN it! I had made my mind up I would buy new rims for the front and run 185s in the front, and then do a nice knobby in the back till I read your comment. I really should get a spare, especially considering I don't have a dually!

Salvage yard says he's got steelies for 40 bucks a piece. Thinking about grabbing those maybe and switching to 185r14. The cool factor of the off road tires is swaying me though
-
Good eye! How about these? I'm going to check the salvage yard tomorrow too https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004IPPCRY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0dXrAbCSADSGC
