Every 2wd GM truck made from 1971-1998 used 5x5 pattern. I'm speaking of common bolt pattern parts that can be bought at any parts store in America.

4.75 on a pickup is getting out of the realm of mainstream parts.
He was asking about a T/A rear axle which is the 5x4.75, so if he did swap it in he still could get a front conversion in the same bolt pattern.

I don't think anyone said our trucks were 5x4.75.

5x4.75 is just as mainstream as 5x5 (which is why they offer both patterns in the brake kits) just not for the full size.
