Default 6 bolt to 5 bolt conversion on 93 Dak

I have just finished my big block swap in my 93 Dak
I installed an 8 3/4 rear axle with 5 bolt wheel pattern
My front rotors are still the factory 6 bolt pattern
Is it possible to just change a rotors from a 90 Dak to get the 5 bolt up front
Thanks in advance I love the resources here!

It is a 93 Dak was a v6 3.55 auto overdrive
Now a 69 383 with every internal toy I could think of.
A 69 727 with full manual valve body / kevlar bands +++
Star gate Mega shifter does the mixing of gears that is!
All factory look until I start it you wouldn't know, well one other tell tale sign is the flow master custom exhaust that dumps infront of rear wheels ala 1970 AAR Cuda Look. From behind the 10" weld wheels with ultra light weight's with 275 60 15 meats are a hint to would be silly 5.0 mustwangs lol.
when I figure out how to do the add pictures to the site I will upload some photos. Thanks Crazy as I have read many of your posts.

Cheers

To upload pictures.

You can create a photo album on this site, Go to "User CP" (Control panel). Near the top of each page in the black strip.

Or you can do a 3rd party website like www.photobucket.com or www.tinypic.com and use the photo link that uses the [IMG] tags.

Or upload it to the post by going to the "Go Advance" post tab next to "post reply" at the bottom then to "Manage Attachments" near the bottom. Then "Browse". Find th picture on your computer files. Then Upload.
upload.
