Going round and round...front end

O.K....slap me if I'm in the wrong place for this but, I didn't know where to post it. I have a 53 that I swapped the origonal 6 bolt dually rear for an 82-8 bolt. The origonal front got swapped for a 5-bolt 64. (it was the closest I could get). I did this because I ran out of options for the 53. Now, I still would like the front to match the rear. What kind of options do I have? I was in the wrecking yard today and saw a 78 dually 8-bolt. Will this be of any use to either my 53 or 64 straight-axle? Is everybody lost yet?( Man, I feel like Johnny Cash)

I think you need a bottle of Jim or Jack, and sit down and take a drink.
