Disc brakes stock wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello all! I am getting ready to order my 2/4 drop and disc brake kit from early classics. This is a 12" rotor per the description. Will this fit with my stock wheels? I will be getting 20s but want to save those for later.
I head home from Malaysia in a few weeks and want some boxes to open when I get back!

becase of the construction profile of 70 and earlier wheels they will not clear disc brakes// 71 and later wheels on pickups were designed to clear disc brakes

A 1/4" spacer worked to get my original wheels fit on my '66.
