You really do NOT want to use adapters like that...they're
just too much chance of something going wrong and a wheel
falling off. Even J C Whitney doesn't sell them any more,
and they'll sell just about any kind of automotive junk.
You can swap 52-54 front car hubs onto the truck easily, and
you can put in a different rearend such as from a 70s
vintage Camaro or Nova relatively easily. But it's more
trouble and expense than just selling the 5 lug wheels you
got and buying 6 lug wheels.
