Rear sisc conversions
My boss is wanting a rear disc conversion for his 75 k10, does anyone have a recommendation for a bolt on kit, it has the 12 bolt rear.

For my 78 C10 (12 bolt), I am using the kit from the Right Stuff. Bought through Summit Racing.

Re: Rear sisc conversions
The rear ends are different between a 2 and 4wd? That's a new one to me. Always thought it was just a length thing.

Re: Rear sisc conversions
So basically we are saying the 6 lug 2wd rear disc conversion kit would also fit the 4x4 rear axle ?

Re: Rear sisc conversions
I guess so but thats if the mounting part on the axle housing is the same and its probably not.Or figure out what disc the kit uses see if its offered in a 6 lug or if its offered in a blank and have it drilled for a 6 lug.
