I've never heard of anyone trying to install a 88-98 C2500 rotor on the 73-87 spindle. Are the bearing the same?
I HAVE heard of people using 88-98 spindles and the C2500 rotors with a lower control arm swap and balljoint and tie rod changes.
To me this is an expensive swap and it's already been proven by board members to casue TOO MUCH positive camber, that can't be fixed with a front end alignment.

If you want 6-lug discs just buy the CPP 6-lug rotors from Summit Racing, and bolt them directly to any 73-87 HD spindle. (not the light duty 1" version).
I think many spindle companies offer these but, CPP seems to be the cheapest.
