Not knowing your Chevy pickup knowledge...The 71/72 rears are wider than your 68 (69?) is..

There's a boat load of other 5 lug swap facts. Let us know if you need any more...

I have 67 and 68 C-10's I plan to use all factory parts to convert mine to disc, 5 lug...
Truth be told i don't have much "classic" chevy truck knowledge I'm just taking it day by day and learning as i go. The whole radiator support thing threw me off big time but were gonna get that right soon as all the parts get here (assuming i got everything I'm going to need haha) But yea as I previously mentioned it came with a buncha miss matched 5 lug stuff and a random rear end. I don't know what its out of, what gears are in it anything like that and i haven't bothered looking much into it just yet. Really focused on just getting this thing to a sweet little cruiser and knocking out the little odds and ends/clean up work so when the nicer weather gets here were good to go. (northeast winters suck)

Im really considering just buying the 6 lug front disk kit to save myself some hassle for the time being and not go down the rabbit hole of trying to piece the rest of what I have together then having to buy new wheels on top of it. Down the road most likely but right now Im not sure I want to swing it.

Curious if i can use my the brake master i have now though if i was to just install the 6 lug disk fronts for the this year.
