Yes they do. Check out Early Classic Enterprises. Look at this Google search. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search

Re: Do they make 6 lug rotors for
I did some research on this, you might want to try this:
Use the 72 spindle, use the wheel bearings and seal for a 1990 Chevy C2500 with the 7200 GVW (light duty 3/4 ton with 6 lug wheels), the rotor for the 1990 C2500, the caliper and pads for the 72 spindle. From my findings, the wheel bearings are the same for the 1/2 ton spindle and the 3/4 ton light duty spindle. At rockauto.com, the rotor is $45.79 each, inner bearing is $5.56, the outer bearing is $6.06 and the oil seal is $1.69. Both sides total $118.20 + shipping. I have not tried this, but from the specs/dimensions that I found it should work.

Re: Do they make 6 lug rotors for
I Was Looking At Using The Spindle, 6 lug Rotors And Calapers From A Light Duty 2500....Looks Like The Upper Ball Joints Will Work , But I'm Not Too Sure About The Lowers...Anyone Ever used This Set Up??

Re: Do they make 6 lug rotors for
From what I read on this site, you need to change out the lower a arms to 67-70 3/4 ton arms and then use the late model lower ball joints.

Re: Do they make 6 lug rotors for
I was about to try this very thing since I already have a set of 2" spindles from an 88 and up truck. You use the stock 72 upper arm and ball joint, with a 3/4 ton lower arm and the later model ball joint to match the spindle. then of course you use the rotor, caliper etc from the late model set up. Stock stuff could be had from a wrecking yard on the cheap and rebuilt parts from Checker or whatever, but since the OP has the 72 disc spindles, it is cheaper and easier to just buy the 6-lug rotors. Just know that these are a special part that can only be had from ECE or the like, so maybe buy a spare for just in case, cause you can't buy one from Checker, etc. With the later model swap I was mentioning above (and others) these are redily available parts from any local parts house, as well as having support from the aftermarket with slotted, cross drilled rotors, bigger rotors and caliper for a more reasonable price then modding 72 vintage stuff.
