Newbie intro and a few questions

Hey all. This is my first post here. My name is Brandon and I am 25 years old. I just this week bought a 66 C10 LWB fleetside. I used to own this truck in my high school days. I originally bought it with a worn out 307. I eventually swapped it out for a mild 355 that I bought from a local engine builder. This in a nut shell started my love for hot rods and muscle cars. I drove the truck for a while until the center pin broke in the rear and I lost both axles going to work one day. I had plans to fix the truck, and did put another rear in it. I never did drive the truck again. I thought i had to have a short bed truck, and bought a 74 SWB fleetside. I pulled the engine from the 66 and sent it down the road. As time went on, I always wanted the truck back. The guy that got it from me did nothing with the truck all these years. I finally struck a deal this week and bought my old truck back. Its exactly the same as it was when I let it go, just alot more rust. This is a big project and will take a lot of body work. But this gives me the chance to build the truck the way I always wanted, when my minimum wage job wouldn't allow it. Im sure I will have lots of questions. My first is this. Im going to leave the drum brakes on the front. I want to swap to 5 lug. My rear already is 5 lug. Does anyone know of a 5 lug hub that will work on the front? Thanks is advance.
