Question disc brakes take 46.

I will be doing the upgrade BUT want my 15 inch rallies still and its 5x4.75 bolt pattern.

if I go with the POL Disc brakes i cant do the drop spindle like i want....


BUT


If i go with a stock 71 72 swap....i can use the spindle BUT want to know if i can use the Chevelle Rotors on the spindles? (keeping my 4.75) WITHOUT PLUGGING AND REDRILLING WHEEL STUDS



ANYONE? maybe i just missed it in the threads before about the swaps... theres so many and i hate to make another but im desperate.

Re: disc brakes take 46.

I don't believe so. But you might be able to use 65-82 Corvette hubs and rotors which are the same size as the truck rotors. Not sure what the offset is though. Not sure if they make a one piece replacement for the rotor/hub combo of the 'vette but Google should help you there.

Like most other things if you want to go off the beaten path you need to do some due diligence on your own to figure that out.

Use the stock 71-72 type setup and PM forum member way2lo2 for his 5x4.75 rotors for C-10's. They are a stock type rotor that has been re-drilled for that bolt pattern. I have them on my 2wd Blazer and they work like a charm.
