You can buy the spindles from Early Classic Enterprises, with either a stock height or a 2.5 inch drop. Then, you can use the stock GM 5-lug rotor or the ECE 6-lug rotor. It is new, not redrilled. Not that there is anything wrong with a redrilled rotor, IF it is done correctly. ECE stuff uses GM 1/2-ton truck brake components.....all factory stuff. Their spindles are custom manufactured, with a lifetime warranty and use OEM tie rod ends, ball joints, etc.

Not to knock WES, at all. He's a good guy just trying to give you some options. But, you seem to be set on having a 6-lug disc on your 71-72 body, so that's my suggestion on how you can have it your way....short of going to Burger King, that is.

Before I knew about Wes, I had already bought and installed the ECE components on my '69. This is why I can tell you about what they have.
