Cheap 6 lug rear disc????
I have seen everyone making cheap kits work with impala parts etc but what can be done for the six luggers for cheaper. I can get the brackets,hoses and calipers for a metric car but what to do about rotors? I want discs all around but stay 6 lug and not spend 1200 on it. Front rotors alone are going to run me 86.65ea for 72 spindle. 12 bolt btw.

Re: Cheap 6 lug rear disc????
I've thought about designing some brackets for 6 lug rear discs, but just haven't had the time yet. That and I'm not sure how many would want them.
On the ultra cheap, I've seen a guy re-drill the front backing plates from a K10 to fit the flange on the 12 bolt and use the rotor and caliper from the same. I don't remember the details or how well it all lined up though.

Re: Cheap 6 lug rear disc????
88-94 S-15's & Jimmy's (both 4x4's) were 6x5.5" pattern. I'm not sure about the disc option though (can't remeber what year they started offering rear discs).

Re: Cheap 6 lug rear disc????
I met a guy using a 99+ rear axle from a pick-up around here. Your issues are the width and your wheel backspacing. Also metric lugs.
As far as SCOTI's suggestion; I have never seen a 6-lug S10....only the newer Trailblazers, which is again a different pattern than our trucks.

Re: Cheap 6 lug rear disc????
If you re-read my initial post there was a question mark after my statement because I'm not up to speed on S-10 4x4 Blazers. I did know a guy that had a s-10 Blazer 4x4 back when I was going to school & it had 6-lug wheels. When I first read this thread, I remembered his truck & looked it up (googled). I came across that site & figured it was a 4x2 vs. 4x4 thing.
Upon further investigation, most of the stock wheels I've seen/searched for were indeed 5-lug pattern. I do remember his truck looked pretty stock-ish & I thought the wheels were OE. I guess he did some swapping on his . . ....

Re: Cheap 6 lug rear disc????
I would think stepping down to the d44 wouldn't be worth getting disc brakes plus parts are more expensive for dana stuff. I dont think it would handle getting beat on when I get my other motor done.

The '63-'69 12 bolts measure 62 1/8" wms to wms. I just recently read that the 1970 12 bolts are slightly wider. Anyone else heard that or can verify that claim?

Re: Cheap 6 lug rear disc????
Cap'n.....I have a 68 rear and a 71-2. The 71-2 is wider cuz my wheels fit on the burb and I had to tub the pick-up with less backspace. Rather unscientific but I'll try to get out the tape to measure. The newer rears are supposed to be 1.5'' wider total.

Yes I was aware that starting in '71 the differentials are 1.5" wider than previous years, but I recently read that the '70 model was either the same width as the '71 and newer or somewhere in between. I just don't know if that info is correct or not.
