Anyone used a 88-98 K1500 6 bolt rotor for front discs?
Just wondering if anyone out there has used the rotors from a 88-98 K1500 on the front of a drum brake truck. The bolt pattern is the same 6x5.5" but the lugs are larger (1/2" I think). Just wondering if the hubs fit tightly or not and if the rotor offset fits. I am just looking for a budget way to do discs while keeping factory rims on my 70 C10.
Thanks CoryM

I would buy the truestop $25 cheapies before retrofitting another model's discs.... Sometimes there are a lot more physics involved then just fitting that we don't see and are unaware of- Caliper pressure for example, thermodynamics, and more.
