Default Solid Axle conversion.

About to get my solid axle done here in about a week or 2. Already got everything good to go.
Only theres one question,
Can I get my new solid axle custom fab'd to a 5 on 5.5 Bolt pattern instead of 8?

dont get me wrong i think its awesome....but your question can be asked as to why even do a solid axle swap then? if its only for street use why do a solid axle swap, thats not the easiest/most common/cheapest thing to do....so if you say why 8 lugs since its only for street, then why a solid axle at all?

Why not use a 70s Ford or a early 70s J10/waggy front axle.... all of which are driver side drop with 5 on 5.5
