 AB> Hi Roy,
 AB>   Pickup trucks are 5 on 5. 80's era Caprice classics and similar
 AB> chassis
 AB> style (A body?)  are 5 on 5, They may be 5 on 5 since the late
 AB> 70's.
 AB>  F,G bodies (camaros, firebirds, transams, regals, monte carlos,
 AB> grand prixs
 AB>  etc) retained 5 on 4 3/4 into the 80's.
actually, when the caprice and other B-body cars like it were redesigned in 
'77 to fit on a smaller frame, i believe that it depended on the suspension 
package you got..  cause i know my '78 88 has the 5" on 4 3/4" but if you got 
a bigger 10 bolt axle and/or and bigger engine (403 in my case) you would 
have the 5" on 5" bolt circle.  my mom's '90 custom cruiser has that.
