is there any way i can put passenger car spindles rotors and calipers on my 1980 c10 frontend on my 64 c10 pickup
im wanting to do this so i can have 5 on 4 3/4 bolt pattern instead of 5 on 5

We just have the rotors re-drilled to the 5x4.75 bolt pattern. You may also have to turn down the nose-cone on the rotor if running a car wheel.

how much do you charge to redrill the rotor
but i really wanted some aftermarket brakes like aerospace or wilwood

I also sell the Mcgaughy's 13" brake kits for our trucks. They are offered in a 5x4.75 bolt pattern. It's a pretty nice kit. It includes rotors (cross-drilled), spindles, bearings, seals, calipers, and hardware for $749.

I was having a machine shop re-drill them and turn the nose cone down... $50.

50 a piece
so there is no way i could get different ball joints and get the spindles to work
maybe off of a chevelle

You may be able to get them to bolt up, but due to the different spindle heights and outer tie rod location of the steering arm, you would be bolting up some suspension and steering headaches as well.

McGaughys makes awesome parts. And they stand behind everything that they manufacture.

Plus those rotors look SEXY as hell......
