Most of the kits that keep the stock spindles use Camaro/Chevelle or G-body rotors. You can buy the calipers and mounting plates separately. The difficulty with these trucks is that there is no stock inner bearing which fits the spindles. That's why the kits come with special bearings and spacers. Alternatively, you can machine the spindles and then use the common (and cheap) S-6 inner bearing sets.

If you want to run the larger (12 inch) rotors, I am pretty sure you will need aftermarket spindles.
