I wrote one up for my rampage and submitted it to Barry Goodall at the SDAC. I'll see if I can find what I typed up.
However it isn't all that hard to do the conversion. Just look in your repair manual at how to replace wheel bearings and service the brakes. On your car, I would take the front suspension uprights off and take them to a machine shop to replace the bearings and hubs with 5-lug versions. You'll need new rotors but you find that you can use the same brake calipers with 5-lug versions of your existing rotors. Replace the pads and bleed the brakes while you are in there. The rear is easy, just hit the local yard and get a set of 5-lug drums in the same diameter as yours and have them turned, order a set of shoes, bearings and maybe wheel cylinders then reassemble it as normal. Again, follow the books advise on servicing those parts, don't skimp and keep everything clean and free of grease (except for the parts that need to be greased of course) If you're looking to upgrade to turbo car, minivan or 11" brakes, search for "SLH" and you'll have the proper parts list.
