I just added some C5 front brakes to the front of my 74. I need to run a 20 inch wheel and stock width. I would like to use a newer OEM style truck wheel but they all seem to be 6 lug. Am I just SOL?

What's your definition of stock width? For a '74, that could be as narrow as 5".

The only newer 5 lug wheel that I know of over 15" is the wheel used on the '00 Tahoe Limited. And they were 17" I think. They should clear the brakes though.

Not cheap, but you can get virtually any width/diameter steel wheel from Detroit Steel Wheels. Just sit down when you look at the price sheet!
Also Wheel Vintiques May have a steel wheel that works for you. I recall they had bigger diameters in 5 and 6 lug wheels.
