8 to 5 lug conversion questions.

[treveiger]

I'm planning on switching out my truck to 5 lug and had planned on putting a 79 front end on it but now the guy I had set up to buy the front end from seems not to want to deal with it and just take the cars to the crusher so I'm wondering what would be cheaper, waiting for a newer front end or using the a front end either from a 71 Chevy or a 71-72 gmc that I can get for free. Either way I'm planning on going through and rebuilding whatever one I decide to get and I'm wondering which would be cheaper and better to do? Any info on this would be great. Also if I switched to a 5 lug from the 71 Chevy or 71-72gmc what would i all need to do?
Thanks
