Thanks for the quick response. So no matter if I had 5 or 6 lug rotors the 71\72 calipers will work correct?

Yes if you got the correct 6 lug rotors, which are 5 lug rotors that have been manufactured with 6 lugs at the factory, in other words they're the same rotor but for the lug bolts. If you're trying to use some later model truck 6 lug rotor those won't work.

Ok so I'm still not ok from what you just explained I have later model rotors. So what calipers do I need? Am I screwed.

You need to buy the 5 lug rotors that have been made in 6 lug. No other rotor fits. It's not the calipers.
