What brakes do i get?

[d10s69c10]

i got a 69 c10 2wd and i have 5 lug rotors up front. just had a caliper get pretty stiff on me and i need to run to the old autoparts store to get a new one.(or a rebuild). but in the event they have to order one what year do i need to get.

everything appears to be oem so iwas just wondering who knows what would have been the 5 spindle/rotor combo that fit on the 69.

will a 72 work?

A 5 lug setup on a 69 wouldn't be factory, and that's about all the info I can give you....

pics would help. There's a couple options of which way they coulda gone.

Yes, you have to investigate and make some comparisons. Obviously someone swapped front ends or brake components with a later year (71 and upwards) to make it disc brakes. Is the rear still 6 lug? If its 5 then the rear end (or axles) were swapped with a later model as well OR you might be mistaken and the truck may not even be a '69.

All 1/2 ton trucks were changed to 5-lug w/ front discs in 1971. There is a good chance that a '71 or '72 rotor is in the truck now. I don't know how different the 73 and up rotors are, best to look at each (71/72 vs. 73 up) and see which one matches yours.

Glad you got it fixed. I'd put that info in your notes somewhere so you don't forget. I always think I'll remember stuff like that, and find out that info has been replaced when I the time comes.
