6 lug to 5 on 4 3/4 conversion
I'm sure its here somewhere but what is the easiest/cheapest way to do front disc,rear drum 6 lug to 5 on 4 3/4 swap. Axles will be from Mark Williams so that part is covered. Can I stay with the manual brakes? I'm afraid my cam won't make enough vacuume and wanted to keep the firewall simple with no brake booster. Thanks!

Electric vacuum pump. They also have 'cam cans' which were basically large volume vacuum reserviors (check Summit or Jegs).

I dont want power brakes unless absolutly nessesary. I want to keep this build as simple as possible. More often than not less is more.
