I have the whole C2500 LD setup on my 69 stepside and thought about the same rotor swap. The wheel bearings are the same inner & outer but I don't know if the spacing is the same as the square body spindle.

They are slightly smaller in diameter and slightly thicker but may be close enough that they still work.

If they worked then replacements are as close as the nearest parts store or even the wrecking yard for some that are turnable.

The down side is the new C2500 LD rotors are just as expensive as the aftermarket 6-lug rotors. They used to be more expensive but they have come down a bunch in price over the past two years. When I first did the swap they were $140 each at AZ now they are down to $80 each.

I may pick up a square body spindle and check out the fit for possible future use.
