I just placed an order for a few of us DML'ers for ram-air
hoods from Pro Glass, and in talking to Terry, I found out that he
converted his Dak over to 5-lug. He said that you can get all the
parts you need for the front for about $100 at any Pep Boys. He
said that the rears were a little harder though. There's a
pic of his truck at:

He's not on the 'net, but his phone number is (219)897-2597
