Hello,

I have 1970 chevy c10 shortwide P/U with a 68 nose. I have heard that you can use disc brakes off of a 72 chevy pickup on a 70 but that you have to use 72 spindles as well. Also have heard that unless you get 72 a arms you have to put 72 ball joints into the 70 a arms. Any truth to this? Please let me know. Anything else I should know?

On the other hand, is there a five lug disc brake/hub that I can use. Would love to be able to use 5 x 4 3/4 bolt pattern instead. Dont want to spend a whole lot either.

Thanks, James
