I hope front disc brakes are on your list!!!

Front discs at least are definately going in with the lowering kit!

LOL, I just re-read your post 1...

If that 5 lug rear is as greasy as it sounds, it's likely a 71 or 72 rear end.

Not knowing your Chevy pickup knowledge...The 71/72 rears are wider than your 68 (69?) is..

There's a boat load of other 5 lug swap facts. Let us know if you need any more...

I have 67 and 68 C-10's I plan to use all factory parts to convert mine to disc, 5 lug...

Truth be told i don't have much "classic" chevy truck knowledge I'm just taking it day by day and learning as i go. The whole radiator support thing threw me off big time but were gonna get that right soon as all the parts get here (assuming i got everything I'm going to need haha) But yea as I previously mentioned it came with a buncha miss matched 5 lug stuff and a random rear end. I don't know what its out of, what gears are in it anything like that and i haven't bothered looking much into it just yet. Really focused on just getting this thing to a sweet little cruiser and knocking out the little odds and ends/clean up work so when the nicer weather gets here were good to go. (northeast winters suck)

Im really considering just buying the 6 lug front disk kit to save myself some hassle for the time being and not go down the rabbit hole of trying to piece the rest of what I have together then having to buy new wheels on top of it. Down the road most likely but right now Im not sure I want to swing it.

Curious if i can use my the brake master i have now though if i was to just install the 6 lug disk fronts for the this year.

I will make a list, put it here, for you. Maybe others will chime in. THere's one guy here, that knows, a lot (not me).

In the area of converting to 6 lug disc. You need to make sure that what ever wheel you have will work with the disc calipers. many drum brake wheels will not work...

Posting a picture of the inside of the wheel here, will help.

Disc brakes require a specific master cylinder. I've seen some folks use a drum M/Cyl, but I would not for safety's sake!!!
