an 85 would have 5 lugs or 6 if it was 4x4.

If its just a parts vehicle just yank the whole front end out and do a swap! If your just wondering if you can use the 85 spindles and rotors and that it the answer is no!

Clarify exactly what you are wanting to do

If you are wanting 6lugs visit the vendors sites(Brothers or ECE any many others) and get a set of 6lug rotors(designed for the earlier 6lug trucks using 71-up disc brake spindles) for your truck. You cannot use the NEW style rotors on square body trucks.I have been toying with this idea for a while now. Use 6 lugs all the way around on my '84 crewcab. I would either use a 4x4 rear 12blt or 6 lug semi float 14bolt.Good luck.
