Re: disk brake swap

What year truck is the donor? 71-72? Yes you can change rotors. No the axles won't work unless the housing is the wider 1970 6 lug housing. 67-69 one width and 70-72 another width. 70 was only 6 lug with wider housing.

If the donor is a square body that probably all remains true as well unless it has the light duty brakes.
