CONVERT FRONT BOLT PATTERN

what is the easiest way to convert the front wheels to the 4.5 bolt pattern without changing spindles ? Any hubs in particular fit  the spindle?/

I have to say changing the to the disc brake setup from the '73 up cars is the way to go :dontknow:

I don't think the B-body drum hub fits

Why not use E-body front spindle drums, and youre done, and I am shure you could get them for nearly as nothing. :driving:

I have never changed my wheels but are the front a different lug pattern from the back?    I was wondering why 74chall was ordering a conversion it for the front for his new wheels.    :dontknow:     Would my car be this way?  I'm planning on buying new wheels this summer.
