6 bolt drop front post hunt... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I did the whole search thing & looked in the FAQ (I thought it was there but done see it) about drop spindles for a later truck & parts list for 68-72. I have 88-90 1/2 ton drop spindles & want to keep the 6 bolt wheels on my 69. I was told I needed 3/4 ton lower control arms & 2wd 3/4 ton late rotors but cant remember the rest. I was thinking the member who listed all the parts was genIII or something like that. Any help?...

I thought all 3/4 ton were 8 bolt? I used the 6 lug kit from GMC Paul's, but it sounds like you have quite a few parts as it is. Not sure of the 6 lug rotors from my kit would fit those spindles or not.

The 3/4 ton 88- 2wd rotors are what were used in that post I think...

poorboy has it right. corn are you doing this just because you already have the spindels? ir you want to get rid of those spindels and use the ones from gmc paul let me know, i could use a set of those. pkj
