63-72 control arms on a 73-87 frame?

I would like to run some nbs 20s on my C10 and since they only come in 6 lug im wondering if I can run the older 6 lug control arms and spindles on my frame.

there is a 6 lug rotor that fit your existing stuff I think. Or,you could have any machine shop redrill your rotors and drums/axles cheaper than new rotors. I'd guess $125-150

Just buy the 6 lug rotors, 1.25" assuming you have the thick rotors already. The 6 lug rotors are nothing more then 5 lug rotors drilled for 6 at the manufactuer. You can't drill an existing 5 lug to 6 lug.
