What year is your truck? On my 70 with the factory 6-lug wheels, they didn't clear the brake caliper after I switched to the dropped spindles & disc brakes. I assume that if it is a 71 or 72 with the 5-lugs you shouldn't have a problem. I had to go out and buy some new 6-lug wheels, after I told my wife that everything I needed was in the boxes that I ordered... it was not a good day.

I've explained the wheel clearance issue in this thread when I was ordering my dropped spindles. The aftermarket 15" wheels that I bought did clear, I'm just talking about the "original" steel wheels.
