'69 w/ discs and 5"x5" wheel pattern ????
My '69 has disc brakes up front and 5"x5" wheels all the way around. Has someone done some work on this rig or was it a special order?
I always "knew" that these had drums up to '70 and then disks starting with '71, so you can imagine my surprise to see disks on my truck.

Someone has updated your truck, 71 was the first year for discs and 5 lugs.

Thats what I thought. But why do the 5 lug rear without adding disc?

It's fairly easy to swap rearends from a later truck.

I don't think the rear disc trucks came out until the body change in '99.

and they went BACK to rear drums becouse they didn't help much and aremore expensive. 04 or 05 I think is when they went back.
