6-lug...

Just keep in mind measuring for the correct BS and allow the differences for the correct year rearend (67-70 or 71-72) and front disc brake upgrade (adds .75" per side 1.50" overall).

Rochlow... while that is a killer looking truck, according to Billet Specialties they could only drill the Soft Lip for a 6-lug application; that is per Billet Specialties.

ok thanks i do have disic upgard and its a stock rear end do i measur it the way that Billet Specialties tell you to in there book ?

Yep, follow their directions and measure once, twice, and even a third time. Once they are order, built and shipped, that's it; they are yours.

Maybe I was told incorrectly, so I hope not ill feelings, just wanted to pass along what was told to me by BS. Now... when I was told this it didn't make much sense to me, but hey who am I?

Rochlow · 07-23-2010, 11:42 PM

No ill feelings at all.. Just seems kinda funny that they can make a 6 lug with a step lip and not a soft...

72BlckButy · 07-23-2010, 11:43 PM

I'll agree to that...
