6 bolt to 5 bolt??

i want to get rid of my drums up front on my new 68 c/10 and put the 5 bolt disc out of my 72 parts truck on it.
what all needs to be done? is it a pretty easy swap?
or more of a pain in the butt? any and all help would be really apreciated.

Thanx
Tim

It's pretty easy,just unbolt the cross member and roll it under your 68 and bolt back up.I took mine completely apart to repaint so i can't really give you any tricks to doing it but I 'm sure someone will.

yeah, it's a pretty easy swap. there are 7 bolts per frame rail, unbolt those from each, then swap the front crossmembers. be careful though, the front crossmember alone is quite heavy.
