Re: 6-lug disc brakes

Give Buffalo a call out in Wash. State. Neat ol guy and a great product. I have them on my 48. 73-87 4WD rotors, 53 up hubs and 73ish big car calipers. Stops great.

Re: 6-lug disc brakes

Any conversion that uses the common 5 on 5" truck rotor can also use the aftermarket 6 lug rotors. They are available from most of the usual vendors like CPP, ECE, Performance Online, etc.
