More info -- Rotors/Spindles -- 88-91 6 lug

I saw a 97 -- 2500 - 6 lug Cheyenne yesterday -- learn something everyday.

Anyway pics show a 71/72 rotor (5 lug in pic) that does fit on a 3/4 ton LD spindle and also shown is an 88 3/4 ton LD GMC 6 lug rotor. Both take same A3 and A5 bearings and seal. I have not tried yet but I believe the 72 or 88 calipers will work with respective pads. Not sure if the 88 caliper takes the same flex hose yet either. 1/2"-20 x 1.720-1.750 with a .615/.625 diameter knurl replaces the metircs wheel studs-- one has been replaced. I could not find a 7/16 with a big enough knurl. Should still work fne on oem 6 lug wheels. The 88 spindle takes the same 6117 lower ball joint -- the 71/72 takes a 6124 upper and the 88-91 (may be others) take a 6136 upper ball joint. The outer tie rod end on the 88 spindle is a rethreaded 88 to fit a 65-70 c10.

Anyone else have any info or experience on this?
