Title: 5 lug to 6 lug:
Post by: Stewart G Griffin on June 06, 2017, 08:35:47 pm

Which 6 lug rotors, if any, will fit 1/2 ton spindles?

Or, if different spindles are required to switch to 6 lugs, then which spindles, if any, will fit 1/2 ton A-arms?

This is for the front, we'll worry about the rear later.

I would like to know this, too. Rear as well.6 lug rims seem to be a lot easier to find that 5 lug -_-

Check with the 60-66 groups, I see all kinds of posts putting 6 lug rotors on.

The 71-72 C10's used 6 lug rotors.  They make some to fit the 73-87 also.  If you are doing it on the cheap get the 71-72 rotors and spindles and swap them.
