Square body front crossmember on 64 C10?
 

Howdy folks.

I'm looking at square body front crossmembers locally in order to swap the complete unit into my 64 C10 to convert to disc brakes.

I would like to keep the truck on the 6 bolt wheels i have. Is that an option or were all square bodies 5 bolt?

There are several 6 lug disc brake conversion kits out there. Might be an easier way to go rather than swapping out the whole crossmember?

All 2 wheel drive half ton squares were 5 lugs. 6 lug rotors are available from aftermarket vendors however.

Better off using aftermarket spindle/disc kit with 6 lug rotors. You'd be rebuilding the squarebody parts anyway, no need to switch crossmembers then change everything out. You can get spindles that fit your original 63-70 ball joints and tie rod ends.

The 63-72 a-arms cross shafts never really wear out if they have grease in them, and they don't deflect so they'll hold alignment specs better. 73-87 rubber bushing degrade over time, the 63-72s are better to keep imo. The crossmember itself is basically the same, no improvement over the original one.
