Five to six lug?
I have a 71/72 SWB C10 frame. Someone rolled a 6 lug posi in the rear. I have a bunch of the 15x8 6 lug four nub steel wheels (none for sale) and was thinking I could convert my front disk five lug to six lug. Seems bassackwards but has anyone done this? I know companies make 6 lug rotors but am unsure if I could simply swap out rotors.

Re: Five to six lug?
Keeping the rear 6 lug and converting the fronts to six lug would allow me to use use wheels I already have, saving me money. And not having to replace the rear with a five lug axle assembly of which I would have to purchase, or get five lug axles to convert the six to five which I would also have to purchase, saves me money. I am aware of axle widths.
I will contact CPP directly and see if they make a rotor for what Im thinking of doing. Thanks for the responses so far!!! |

71-72 5-lug means disc brakes already so you just need the 'conversion' 6-lug rotors. These are available from many of the aftermarket companies that sell disc conversion kits for those swapping their drum equipped trucks over to disc.

A quick O'reilly's check showed 71-72 c10's use A3 outer/A5 inner bearings & a 74 c10 uses A3 outer/A5 inner (both considered the HD/1.25" rotor app; Lt duty/1" rotor apps use the A6 inner). |
