I've worked in parts stores for over 20 years. Unless you know what your trying to fit... you will just hoping and pecking at choices...
Call your "front disc brake kit" supplier and find out what the disc brake application is. Are you running a stock disc spindle, aftermarket (lowering) spindle or a converted drum spindle (Im not sure there are any out there, but?)
Call me if you still are having issues tomorrow (Wed 1/09 8a-4p MT). I will be around all my parts catalogs... 605-381-5430. I'll do everything I can to get you some help on this headache.
doh! Why didnt I think of that

I have a 6 lug conversion, 2 1/2 drop. I will try to give you a ring tomorrow. Thanks alot!

And I did call my vendor, and they put me on hold earlier today for about 15 minutes to go out and look at a box, only to come back and tell me "we only sell them in pairs" so I asked what their part number was. After being on hold for another 10 minutes, the response I got was "all it says is caliper and hardware on the box... sorry"

Am I asking the wrong questions?

BTW thanks for all your help guys. I really do appreciate it.
