8 lug to 6 lug conversion?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What's the easy way to swap from 8 lug to 6 lug- or maybe even 5 lug?? I've got a 71 C-20. Does anyone make a drop spindle that will fit my ball joints and A-arms? Are the brake calipers the same?
Thanks

www.earlyclassic.com makes a 3/4-ton to 1/2-ton conversion spindle.
They have 5-lug or 6-lug rotors to work with these spindles.
Give them a call.
