6 lug disc's are available I am sure, that would be the easiest option

Just the rotor and the wheel would be different.

But if it is a 6 lug drum truck you want to put a 71-72 disc setup on you will need change ball joints and tie rod ends again.

6 lug rotors from our vendors will slide right on to 71-72 spindles. just specify what you want to do when ordering. i used mcgaughys

That is the info I was hoping for.

Will get the new rotors ordered and swap them out.

Saved me a ton of time, money and worry.

Thanks, guys!
