6lug to 5 lug

[blazntn]

Ok I have 6 lug disc and drop spindles on my 69 C-10. I am thinking of converting to 5x5. Just wondering what it takes to do this?

thanks

Who made the spindles? if they are GM, then your just gonna need the spindles, calipers and rotors from a 5 lug truck.

There are plenty of 6 lug wheels out there especially from the GM group, why change to 5 on 5

If you used later model hubs to go to disc brakes, just go down to O'reileys and get new rotors and hubs (1 piece) if it was a stock conversion....only cost $32.00 plus the wheel studs. reuse the old wheel bearings if they are good. you are now converted to 5 X 5.

In the rear end I just had the axle hubs redrilled to the 5 x 5.....

I actually did the conversion to 5 x 5 and found out the wheels I had purchased were 5.x 4.75 had to convert and redrill but it did turn out worthwhile. Kieth

I am not sure about what brand they are. PO put them on and I dont see any markings. I was hoping to go to the local parts store and pick up what I need.

thanks
