Rear Disc brake brackets
I saw someone on evilbay selling rear disc brake conversion brakets for our trucks but in his description he says they are for 5 lug axles only. So my question to you all is there a difference between the 5 lug and 6 lug axles other than the number of lugs. I always thought they were identical except the obvious.

67, 68, 69, and some early 70 axles were shorter. Later 70 and 71, 72 had the longer axle housing and shaft.

Re: Rear Disc brake brackets
The biggest problem is no one has found a six lug rotor that will work, so all the brackets and piece-together-yourself kits are for five lug. There are plenty of companies that sell whole six lugs kits if you've got the $$$.

Re: Rear Disc brake brackets
You could probably re-drill the 5 lug rotors to 6. They'll look like swiss cheese though and even though probably not dangerous, I don't think I'd do it myself.
