Re: 6 lug rotors ?

GM never made disc brakes for 2WD standard until '71. At that time, the change was made to go to 5-lug...5 on 5, as they say. The 6-lug pattern disc rotor for 2WD, is an aftermarket thing. Mine are from ECE. I kept the 6-lug pattern because my truck still had the 6-lug rear axles. I can get the 71-up 5-lug rotors and carry 2 spares, but why?

So, you won't find anyone at AutoZone (for instance) who will be able to find a 2WD 6-lug rotor for your truck, unless they happen to be savvy about these trucks and know who has what you want.
