Re-edit: Sorry, I didn't realize you said disc brakes. Usually the problem is that the original "innie" wheels rub on the disc brake caliper, which can be fixed with a 3/8" spacer to move the wheel out a bit. Maybe that would solve your problem. All the disc brake kits I've seen for the straight axle trucks use the original spindles so the length should remain the same.

I don't understand the problem -- 61 disc brake conversions usually use the old spindles. So the "bottle cap" style original hub capss should still work.

Now, perhaps someone dropped a whole different front end in there??

Does this truck have independant suspension?

Are you sure these are stock rims? Are they very narrow? 16"? I think (never have verfied) that the old 16" rims will bolt on to a 5x5.5 hub fine, but they are shallower and the hub caps may not fit. Just a thought.
