Re: swap 5 lug to 6 lug

If its disc you can get aftermarket discs that are 6 lug.

For the rear, conversion axles or find a 71 72 rear

Sorry to correct you but you got the rear stuff backwards. He wants to go from 5 bolt to 6. The 67-69 and about halfway through 1970 are the 6 bolt, the latter ones are 5 bolt.

I have done this conversion myself, on my 72-2wd Blazer. I swapped the rotors for ECE 6-bolt versions. I bought conversion axles for the rear, also from ECE. The drums I bought locally. It was a very simple and straightforwad conversion.
