Default 5 lug to 6 lug question

My papa has a really clean c1500 that he is going to give to me soon and it’s a beautiful truck that runs great and could be a great base for a build. The only problem is it’s a 5 lug instead of the more common 6 lug. I know I could just use adapters but that isn’t something I want to do. I was thinking of putting a rear end out of a 6 lug truck and that would fix that problem in the rear. But I don’t know what I could do in the front. Could I just get new hubs for the front and that solve the problem? I know if I do this it will be a lot of work for a small outcome but I would much rather be able to run new stocks because I love the look, without the thought in the back of my mind all the time that I’m using adapters. Any help would be amazing. Thanks in advance.

The axle isn’t the hard part. A 4wd axle of the same year should bolt right up. It’s the front end I’m confused about
