Disc Brake Conversion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a customer's 68 truck that his Dad bought new and I am in the process of making it mechanically sound and safer. It is a real nice Custom SWB truck with Factory AC, PS and an original 307/Powerglide. . The owner is real particular as to not make any real changes from when his Dad had the truck. I finally convinced him to allow me to do a Disc Brake upgrade, but I think I may have a problem doing it as the truck has the original wheels that I don't think will work with the Discs. Does anyone know if Discs will work with the 68 wheels, or will I have to change them out. I need to keep the truck 6 lug, so if I have to change them, will 71-72 blazer wheels work?
Thanks, Charles
