84 Suburban ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just acquired an 84 Chevy Suburban that I'm going to use some parts off of. This has 5 lug wheels w/disk brakes, and I want to take the whole front suspension off and put it on my 70 GMC. The question is, I want to still stay with 6 lugs on my truck. Can any late model 6 lug rotor fit on this 5 lug spindle? I'm hoping their the same, 5 and 6 lug spindles.

Next question. This burb is loaded with ops, and was wondering if the pwr door locks and pwr windows work on our trucks?

Is there anything else on this burb that works on our trucks?

It depends on which brakes your 84 donor has.

If the brake rotors are 1.25 inches thick, your option is to buy a pair of 6 lug rotors from most any vendor. They are not stock rotors. You can't buy them from any normal parts store. They will bolt right onto the spindles.

If your 84 rotors are 1 inch thick, no luck, you have to stick with 5 lug rotors. There are no aftermarket 6 lug rotors available in the thin size.
