Problems with my eaton rear disc brake swap :(

OOOOOkay! So I purchased a set of DIY4x brackets to swap rear disc brakes on my 70 K20. I pulled the drums/hubs off and seperated them....went to put the rotor from a 73 4x4 on the hub and they dont fit! The mating surfaces do not touch. Do I need rotors from a 2wd or something? Any help is appreciated!

Are you using 3/4 4x4 front rotors?

the studs have to be removed and the rotor placed on the back side of the hub then press the studs through
