5 lug disc swap

[1LoC10]

I tried to search and am coming up blank... I'm looking into doing the 5 lug disc swap on my truck.. Where can I get a complete kit from with everything I would need to get it all done? at the moment I am all stock four wheel drums..thanks

Are you looking for all 4 disc swap, or front only? I know a fer shops offer 4 wheel kits, or you could do it on the cheap with some stock parts swapped out. It depends on what you are looking for.

I want to jsut do the front for now... looking for a new conversion kit, with a drop spindle and a 5X4.75 bolt pattern if they offer it in that... also would need a booster taht would bolt up too

The easiest would be a 5 lug kit and 9" booster from GMC Pauls. Your looking at about $1000 shipped.

I got my booster of CL for $20 and got the 6 lug kit from GMC Pauls with 2.5" drop spindles. I also replaced my lower ball joints and have to get a proportioning valve. I was going to replace my uppers, but I decided to go with tubular upper arms that come complete.

Also, Early Classic now offers 5 lug axles to make convertong the rear easier.

Classic Performance Parts has a kit for $599 for front discs. it has dropped or stock spindles, calipers, rotors, brake lines, everything you need for up front, but if you want power brakes you would still need a booster and proportioning valve, or if you find a 73-87 chevy pickup, you can use the five lug disc brake setup, the only problem using an 73-87 setup is that you would have to change the ball joints on your arms to accept the newer spindle style becouse the newer spindles have a different taper on the ball joint, or you can bolt in the 73-87 arms and everything and have the whole deal. the arms bolt in the same

i think they only offer it in 5 on 5 though
