6 lug half ton q's?
I just recently purchased 1969 c10, its a 6 lug truck with drum/drum. im curious about keeping it a 6 lug truckbut convert to discs up front, seems that all the 1/2 ton trucks with discs im seeing are 5lug in this body style. is there such thing as a disc truck with 6 lug in this generation? if so what all would i need to convert (spindles, discs, tie rods, ball joints ect) ?
thankfull for anyhelp i may get.

No. THey make a 6-lug rotor that is the same as the 5 lug rotor. Convert it like you were doing a 5-lugger,... and just ad the aftermarket 6-lug rotors.
Use the search feature in the suspension section. It's been discussed a bunch on here.
