68 Chevy brake rotor

I own a 68 Chevy C10 and the previous owner converted the front to disc brakes. Problem is they are 6 lug. I've looked everywhere for every truck I can think of but can't find one that matches. I know all half ton 2wd had 5 lug, and 4x4 had 6, but the rotor is obviously and 2wd rotor. To my understanding all 3/4 tons had 8 lug. Did GM build a truck that had 6 with a 2wd that I'm missing? Thanks in advance for the help.

Don't know much about them, but a quick search turned up these:

6 lug rotor is the 2nd item down.

Re: 68 Chevy brake rotor

i could be mistaken but i read somewhere that some vans had 6 lug rotors. i've never seen one so i have no idea if they really exist. chances are your conversion was a kit and you will probably need to buy replacement rotors from them-- if they are still in business.

Re: 68 Chevy brake rotor

All aftermarket 6-lug rotors are the HD 1-1/4" wide rotors.
They can replace any oem 5-lug 71-80 rotor.
CPP, ECE, POL all sell them.
