Can you drill the hubs/drums? I just don't want to/can't afford get new wheels and tires and I have a set of 3/4 ton axles w/4.10s to go in. What sre my options? I posted a WTB in the classifieds for adapters anyone got any?

What has to be done to convert a 14b FF to 6 lug?

Cheapest solution is a pair of 15" 8 lug rims. Cheaper than adaptors or new hubs and you'll be able to re-use your tires.

I'd just like to find a set of TonyP's adapters they would suit me fine.

As long as you already have aftermarket wheels, those adapters should work. Stock rims have holes in the center that are too small to clear the hub snout, so I hear. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

Actually, I just went through this. Blew up my 10-bolt, and found the most economical way to fix it was to throw a 14bff under the truck.
I have yet to find a 6-bolt rim that will clear the hubs. You'll have to get the hubs turned down. I ended up selling the rims I had and getting some cheapo steel rims. Came close to breaking even on it, to be honest.
I explored every route that I could find to keep my 6-bolts, and the absolute cheapest was to just swap the rims out.
Wish I had better news for you.

Holy Cow! I guess I didn't realize what kind of price I was looking at for adapters.
I would consider using something in a black steel D holes or I really like the newer "soft 8s" who has them in a 15x8 8 lug and the best price?

I got white 9 spokes, 15x8 from summit racing for $28/pc... blacks are a little more expensive, but I can fix that with a $2 can of spraypaint if I need to.
I bought 15x8 white spokes and had them powder coated for $14 each.
