Re: Need help with alignment and bolts holding in shims.

While your under your truck,... measure the "width" of the front rotors.
There are two different 73-87 front ends.
1-1/4" wide rotors are on the HD version.
The Light Duty version has 1" wide rotors.
You NEED to know this when ordering front bearings, calipers, and rotors.
I assume your truck has drop spindles?

I just measured then and they are 1 1/4" rotors.
