5 lug question
When I got my truck, the previous owner had already did a front disc and 5 lug conversion. I forgot to get the info from him and no longer have his contact info.
How do I find the lug pattern of which 5 lug he used? When it comes times that I need new rotors what do I tell them its for? Also brake pads, when I need to get some, what vehicle do I tell the parts house they are for? Thanks in advance!

Re: 5 lug question
If it is an aftermarket part the company name may be stamped in them with a part number. However if they are just plain ol GM you will need to know if they are 71-72 or 73-87 types. the best way for that would be a side by side comparison at the parts store. Jim

Re: 5 lug question
Pictures would help a lot.
GM has basiclly 2 wheel stud patterens. 5 on 5 which is stock truck wheels. 5 on 4 3/4 which is for cars. One of these will help a lot if your going to a junk yard to look for wheels.

Only difference would be upper and lower bushings and tie rod ends. But all the brake stuff is the same.
