Re: 6 lug rotors for 82 gmc 2wd
Try on the 67-72 side I think the 6 lug conversion rotors are the same as the 73 up 1 1/4 rotors. HTH Jay

Re: 6 lug rotors for 82 gmc 2wd
Standard 6-lug disc brake conversion rotors will work if you have the 1.25" HD brake option. If your truck is equipped w/the 'light duty' 1" brakes, it's possible that the last production year Astro van rotors might interchange.

If I had a 2wd square body spindle I would take my parts and give it a try.

Re: 6 lug rotors for 82 gmc 2wd
The C2500 new body style and the C10 square body call for the same Timken set 3 and set 5 inner & outer wheel bearings so it is possible the light duty C2500 rotors fit.

Re: 6 lug rotors for 82 gmc 2wd
From what I've read, the bearings are correct; the position of the caliper to rotor surface is different on the 73-87 rotors vs. post 88's.

I got the parts from a 93 light duty C2500 to convert my 67 C10 to 6-lug disc. The same setup will work on a square body too. You also need a different inner tie rod and 3/4-ton square body lower control arms and ball joints to complete the package. Half ton's use a smaller OD lower ball joint so the arms won't work.

Re: 6 lug rotors for 82 gmc 2wd
Actually here is my dilemma I have a 68 that I am putting an 82 front end on so I can get disc brakes, and figured it would be easier to just hopefully find 6 lug rotors instead of swapping out the rear axle as well to have matching bolt pattern all the way around and figured i might get an answer out of the 73-87 guys because I havent been able to find just the rotors for sale the only thing Im finding is the whole 6 lug kit for the swap

CPP sells a 6-lug rotor that is a direct swap w/parts he already has.

I paid less than $100 for the whole setup on my truck including the lower A-arms and new brake hoses so if he can get serviceable used rotors, calipers & front end parts it could be a less expensive route to go.

Re: 6 lug rotors for 82 gmc 2wd
ok one last question, you say the new square body style C2500, what years is that considered?

In 92 or 93 up the C1500 five lug rotors and the C2500 six lug rotors ride on the same spindle so it is possible to go this route for a five lug swap too.
