6-lug Conversion Rotors Question? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

One more question. I have a set of 89-9? standard cab 2" drop spindles out in the garage. Are you saying I can use these on my 69 with the other parts listed above & get another 2" of drop & keep the 6 bolt wheels? Awesome, but how do I tell if they are for 1 or 1 1/4 rotors?

The only way I know for sure is to try a set of the 1.25" rotors and see if they fit. However, best I remember the extended cab spindles are the ones you want and not the reg cab. Maybe you can check with a spindle company to verify this?
Hope that helps some..

Hey Firstgen
Will this work on my 69 Suburban C10, I was wondering if you had any pictures of this conversion.

Also wanted to say you had a AWESOME stepside.

John,
Yes it should work fine on your 69' burb. As far as I am aware the burbs have an identical front suspension as the truck. I do have some pictures some where but all it looks like is me taking off the drums and putting on different spindles and disc brakes...
Thanks for the compliment.
Good luck!
