[stangalang]

I have a 69 lwb c-10 and I want to put disc brake on the front but i want to keep my 6 lug bolt pattern

I know there is a way to do this but I can't find what parts to use could someone point me in the right direction

thanks

i got mine from mcgough (spell) they are rotors for the 71 spindles. i bought dropped spindles rotors and calipers. but you can use stock 71 spindles calipers etc and use their rotors. i talked to a gary there he was very helpful.

I bought my 6 lug disc conversion kit from GMC Paul's truck parts. He's a board vendor here, and several other vendors also have them. Lax, I think McGaughey's (or something like that) is who you might be thinking of.

Look on about page 4 of Nates "Blank Slate" build.
He documents installing ECE 6-lug disc brake products on his '69.
Look here:

Any of the BB members will be able to hook you up.You need to factor in the cost of new ball joints and front suspension rebuild while you're at it.(unless that's already been done)
