6 lug to 5?

I have a 1970 6lug 1/2 ton with drums all the way around. Is it possible to swap the 5 lug rotors straight over or do I need to change the spindle?

You will need to change the spindle as well. Take a look in the Forums Vendor Marketplace for suppliers of all your needs.

A disc spindle is needed to mount the calipers on.
