70 gmc 5 lug??
Looking at a 70 gmc parts truck. Has disc on front and 5 lug front and rear. I guess disc was an option? What about 5 lug? I forgot to look to see if it had leaf or coil springs. I was thinking about using it to change my70 cst chevy over to five lug disc. What do you think?

I was under the impression 5-lug axels were not until 71. disc brakes were optioned on pickups from the factory in 71. probably not the original front and rear ends.

The thing is the truck looks original. If it was changed it was a long time ago. I wonder if maybe its a 71 or two and had a 70 title. It had a tag on the front said 70 gmc.

Re: 70 gmc 5 lug??
Disc brakes didnt come around till 1971 on these trucks so it isnt really a 1970 or someone has already made the swap.

Re: 70 gmc 5 lug??
not available on trucks til 71. the truck also looks to have a 69 or 70 front clip on it. It was probably pieced together by someone.

Re: 70 gmc 5 lug??

Re: 70 gmc 5 lug??
6 lug drums until and during 70, never seen 5 lug drums, unless it was a car.

Some of the big, early 70's cars had 5x5 and disc. Cadillacs, Impallas, etc.
