More disc brake questions? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I want to go with the 6 lug rotor kit from MIke McGaughy's as I saw recommended here. Will these bolt to my stock spindles? I want to make this a bolt-on affair without buying the $1000+ kit. The less costly, the better. Will 71-72 boneyard spindles fill the bill here? Once I have this kit and spindles, I'll need the master cyl/booster/prop valve, I know. Can I get one of these setups from a boneyard (years?)? What else will I need? ANY help would be greatly appreciated as I need a detailed list to figure an almost exact cost before I start.
Btw, my truck is a 69 2WD 1/2 ton with manual drums.

Thanks!
Jason

you need 71-87 spindles for them to bolt up, along with the corresponding year ball joints, tie rod ends, and center link

The easiest method would be to change from a 6 lug to a 5 lug pattern. Buy the whole front suspension off a 73-87 and bolt it up. I'm no expert on the conversion but it should be a snap.
