What kit are you talking about? There are no 68-70 rotors or calipers, only 71 up had disc brakes. Which rotors and or calipers are needed would depend on what the spindles were made to fit.

If it uses a bracket instead of a new spindle it sounds like the bracket is made for the 73-77 calipers. With stock spindles you would use 71-72 5 lug rotors.

That kit uses car rotors and calipers you would have to have them plugged and drilled for the truck bolt pattern.
