6 lug rotors

Hi all
Will 88-98 6 lug light duty 3/4 ton rotors fit on my 72 c20 disc brake spindles? My brakes are toast and would like to upgrade To this if possible.

You can look through Keith's brake conversion thread and see what you can find....

The 88-98 rotors won’t work with your c20 spindles.
Some have used the 88-98 light duty rotor AND spindle by changing to 88-98 balljoints in your c20 control arms. I can’t remember which outer tie rod to use.
BUT,… the end result was too much positive camber to get the alignment back into specs.

The EASIEST way to convert to 6-lug from a c20 is to swap lower control arms to a c10 version and use c10 spindles with aftermarket 6-lug rotors. (Or 5-lug rotors)
This has been done for years and has been proven to work.
