Re: What is the cheapest way to install six lug disc brakes
Maybe you could research using 73-87 K5/K10 front brakes on our older trucks. I know the rotors will fit, but the caliper mounting might be a problem or might not.[/QUOTE]
I dont think the K series would be an option ..... the only OEM style 6-lug rotor that I know of is the 88 and up light duty 3/4 ton 2wd trucks..... which as far as I know would rquire the corresponding spindle and caliper. Replacement parts would be reasonable and relatively easy to obtain.
Mcgaughy's does build a stock height disc spindle to fit 63-70 chevy 1/2 ton's ...... $241.50 + shpg. This uses the stock ball joints and tie-rod ends for your truck
A 6-lug rotor would run $135.00 each + shpg.
or a 6-lug rotor kit Fits:
60-70 GM C10 Trucks with McGaughys Disc Brake Spindle (1/2 Ton, 2wd)
or
71-72 GM C10 Trucks with Factory Disc Brake Spindle (1/2 Ton, 2wd) . This one would require minimum of ball joint and tie-rod end change
Includes:
•12" 6-Lug (6x5.5) Rotors
•GM Calipers
•Bearings
•Seals
•Hoses
•Banjo Bolts
•Dust Caps
•Spindle Nut/Washer
•Cotter Pins
•6x5.5 Bolt Pattern
This kit runs $339.00 for the 6-lug setup + shpg does not include spindles
