In answer to the question about the six lug wheels, I suggest you contact Stockton Wheel in Stockton Cal. Or Change the whole system over to 8 lug
by swapping in the drums and hubs on front for 61-64 dana 44 hubs from a w100 or w200 with the same axel rating. they swap perfectly as long as
the hub has inner and outer wheel bearings the same size. For the rear just swap in a Dana 60 from the same truck and then you will have a wider range
of gearing to boot. The Corp rear is hard to fit gearing into especially the ratios above 4:10. Look for other minor problems with yokes side gears and axel splines
if you get that far. The 4:10 ratio was popular 61-64 as I found one at the first yard I visited. g.Luck Mike Yerxa
