5 lug to 6 lug
Have 5 lug discs on the front- what is involved in converting to 6 lugs?
Thanks Dave

Re: 5 lug to 6 lug
6 lug disc's are available I am sure, that would be the easiest option

Re: 5 lug to 6 lug
Just the rotor and the wheel would be different.
But if it is a 6 lug drum truck you want to put a 71-72 disc setup on you will need change ball joints and tie rod ends again.

Re: 5 lug to 6 lug
That is the info I was hoping for.
Will get the new rotors ordered and swap them out. Saved me a ton of time, money and worry. Thanks, guys!
