drop spindle ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So afew years back I purchased a set of early classic drop spindles. I know they require disk brakes, and thinking I need to run the 5x5 bolt circle rotor. So does anyone have a 4 3/4 rotor that will fit my spindle's. Or does anyone have a drop spindle that uses 4 3/4 setup for these truck's. I would like to have more choices when it comes to my rims as their are more 4 3/4 than 5x5. Also what is the proper way to measure the spindle. Thanks in advance oldno7

POL (PerformanceOnLine) sells a rotor that has the 4-3/4" bolt circle.
If you have ECE spindles they will work with the rotors.

The only ones that won't work the OEM stock spindles for the 1" wide rotors.

Give these guys a call:

Also,... if you convert the front to 4-3/4" BC,... what are you planning to do with the rearend?

The rearend will be replaced with a dana 60 4 3/4 bolt circle I like the lowered look, but im not going to lay frame. I'm planning on having some power under the hood and want to make sure the rearend stay's put. I want to have some meats under the back 17x11 or 18x12, but trying to figure out what tire wheel combo is difficult then the whole bolt circle thing doesn't help. Well thanks and im going to check into performance online oldno7
