Disc brake dust shield fitt

Will the factory Disc Brake dust shields fit when doing a “Drum to Disc” conversion?
I have a 70 C-10, with the factory 6-bolt hubs and I run pretty much everything factory standard suspension parts with American Racing “Outlaw II” wheels.
I’m pretty sure the kit I’m getting doesn’t have them included.
On a side note.
How do they attach?
Will the factory shields even fit onto a 6-bolt hub?
Thanks in advance

My conversion kit in bought from summit came with shields. They were not listed when I bought it so it was a good surprise for me. The kit I bought was CPP and it included everything even upper and lower ball joints and inner and outer tie rod ends.

Re: Disc brake dust shield fitt

I didn't do a conversion. The spindles were dropped and the factory shields weren't quite right. I just bent the bottoms out a pinch and good as new.

For what it's worth mine were attached by;

The dust shield mounts to a spindle using three 1/2" hex bolts and lock washers. The bolt threads are 5/16-18 x 7/8. The bolts are stamped "RSC".
