Six lug disc brake rotor swap
I searched the archives and found that there was a guy that used 91 chevy 3/4 ton rotors to convert his front drums to disks using 71-72 calipers and spindles. Has anyone else done this swap? (These rotors are cheaper than 5 lug 72 rotors by the way.)
Has anyone else done this? What are you thoughts on the topic before I drop a wad of cash on parts. I would like to keep the 6 lug, because I have a set of nice aluminum 6 lug wheels I want to use, and so I won't have to change the rear axles. I'll be doing this on my scrap yard 69. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=227781 |

Re: Six lug disc brake rotor swap
I just purchased all the parts to do this and will try to take photos and do a little write up on what I have found and what i used. By the way if you need a set of stock spindles for the 1.25" rotors let me know i will be useing a 2" drop spindle on my swap and got them with the rest of the brake stuff.

I'm going to go ahead and do it.
I love a good project. Will do a complete journal of the process. Bill |
