I don't know of a manufacturer that sells direct swap 5x5 bearing spec'd cross-drilled rotor in a 5x4.75 pattern. You could get some drilled/slotted truck rotors & have the lug pattern redrilled to the car pattern.

Actually you can not do this. The center hub on truck rotors is huge compared to the car. And it wont fit into most small pattern GM wheels.

You can buy a disc brake conversion kit for your stock spindles though.

I have done it.

Actually i bought my kit from Classic Parts of America (when it was still Chevy Duty).

Here is a link,

Very easy to install.

Crap, just noticed that you have a 72. This info might not help you. But check out their site. Might find something.

I would think CPP or POL would have them or knows who does.

You can do this very thing. I have a set of 5x5 1.25" truck rotors that have been machined to work w/car wheels. The bolt pattern is easily re-drilled & the snout is machined down very slightly to fit within the car wheel hub pilot-hole. Cost me about $100 for both rotors....
