Re: 6 lug discs

I am also interested in this change, I have a 70 and want the disc brakes but have no need to go to the 5 lugs.

Re: 6 lug discs

hottrucks claimed he found a early 90's rotor that was 6 lug..

I recommend conversion drop spindles and 71 -up frontend components...oh and you need new mc prop. valve good luck

Re: 6 lug discs

I am not sure which one makes it, I believe it is McGaughy. GMan69 did his with the 6 lug kit and I probably will on mine also. Tim Christian handles the kits, probably so do other vendors.

Re: 6 lug discs

I bought my kit from GMC Pauls, but I believe most of the site vendors have the kits.

Re: 6 lug discs

I bought mine from performance online, seems it was around $1000 (including shipping) with spindles, 6 lug brake kit, new master, booster and prop valve.
