73-87 Crossmember Swap ????s - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I know a few threads have talked about the 73-87 swap. And it seems like it is pretty simple....But i have a few questions that maybe you guys could help me out with!!

I have a 1960 with the torsion bars and am thinking about changing to the 73-87 crossmember.

Do the 73-87's have 6 lug 2wd front ends?? All i've seen is the 5 lug setup. I already have my 6 lug rims that i want for my truck, or would i need to get new rotors with the 6 lug setup?

How does the power steering addition to the 60-62 work out? Is it pretty much run like it would be on the 73-87 crossmember.

Thanks in advance
