Welcome to the forum

You can get the aftermarket 6 lug rotors for the '73-'87 spindles from Classic Performance Products, Early Classic Enterprises, and Performance On Line.

No you can not run the original stock wheels with disc brakes.

Re: 6 lug Rotors?

Go to 71 or later 4x4 rims. They will clear the caliper and you can retain your factory hubcaps ( if using them). If you look left to right.....front view...will have four bumps to hold caps, not three. Middle pic...back has different clearance for caliper. Pic with 63 cap on 74 blazer 4x4 rim. The HD trucks, 4x4 and some vans had them mid-late 70's

Re: 6 lug Rotors?

Look at the middle pic above. The inside of the wheel has a wider, larger diameter ledge on the inside for cleaeance for the caliper. Taka a look at your stock wheels and compare, you will see it.
