How do I convert the front 5 lug back to 6?
I asked this question once before and didn't get a clear answer. I put a disc brake front end out of an early 80's suburban under my 68 short bed. I want to run 6 lug again and I have a set of drop spindles that I intended to use. Will those spindles work with the 6 lug rotors and can I get the rotors at Napa or is this something I will have to order?

Re: How do I convert the front 5 lug back to 6?
As long as your current 5 lug rotors are 1.25 inch thick and not 1 inch thick, you can call any of the old truck supply places and get a set of 6 lug rotors. They aren't available through parts stores as they are special for the conversion. ECE sells real nice ones. You can reuse your existing bearings and brake parts, it's just a straight rotor swap.
