Because the lugnut studs mount the rotor to the hub...so would have to eather redrill you hubs or get 5 lug hubs that would use the same bearings and all as the spindle. Or use a 5 lug spindle that works with your truck.
Still don't understand why anyone would want to go to 5 lug stuff...its weaker and rim selection isn't all that much better.... |

concidering that rotors didn't come out until 1971,how come you have them?btw early classic sells a drop spindle that will convert a 3/4 ton truck to 1/2 ton disc.
