So after combing through alot of threads someone please let me know if I have my facts straight.

For a FACTORY 6 lug steelie to work with disc brakes on my 68 c10...

1. 4 nub
2. from a 73-87 k5 or k10 4x4
3. Inside taper profile should be stepped

Unclear about - how wide they will be? Ive seen 15x6 and 15x8, which are more common?

Anything else Im missing?

I havn't had much luck finding any on craigs. There have been a few sets up for grabs on here but shipping kills the deal.

Keep looking on craigslist, swap meets, junkyards. You could become a subscribing member here and post a want-to-buy ad. You said shipping kills the deal, so sounds like you need to find something locally. 15x6 are far more common.

Ya I'm looking for a local set. I drive to alot of places for work so its not too hard for me to get to someone to pick up. Just wanted to make sure my facts were right.

1971 and 1972 K10 steelies will work too.
