I haven't taken the wheels off mine to check further, but typically changing to a 5 bolt means removing the front hub assembly, and rear axles, and taking them into someone VERY SKILLED at his job - old studs are removed, holes welded and ground clean, and a new 5 bolt pattern drilled into the hubs - perfection is not optional here.

Major downside is the inability without a lot of work later or replacing the hub components with new parts, to return the truck to stock, which probably isn't much of an issue as far a value for the next 40 years or so.
