lug conversion

Hey how is everyone? I have a 1987 4 lug that I would like to convert to 5 lug. Before I jump right into this, I want to do my homework and this seems like the best info pool around. If anyone has done this, or has info on the procedure, please let me know
thanks

80 dollars PLUS shipping. Count on shipping being at least 50 bucks, up to 75, depending on your location.

You're welcome to do so, saves me trouble in packing the damn **** up.

Go right ahead and check shipping costs yourself to verify I'm not making **** up if you want. My zip is 37814, the package would be 15x15x30 and would be classified "irregular" because it would not be in cardboard boxes but rather plastic crates (UPS charges 5 dollars more for this). IT weighs about 120lb. Or you could split it up into 2 x 60lb at 15x15x15.
