NEED ANSWERS!!

Hey guys/gals I'm trying to get everything figured out so I can start purchasing parts for my rebuild and there's something I can't seem to find a FOR SURE answer to. What options do I have to convert my 5 lug to a 6 lug. It's a 1989 GMC C1500 RCSB with all stock brakes and axles.

2500 rotors and rear axle.

 

[95C1500]

4x4 rear end and 6 lug rotors up front. oohunter04oo swapped his.

Just go buy some factory K1500 brake rotors and a 14SF?

 

[SCOTTYINWV]

No, 2500 light duty 4x2 brake rotors

Any specific year?

I think you will also have to buy some newer spindles, Early 2wd's used a narrow spindle that takes a thinner rotor, all the 2500LD 2WD rotor's are the thicker size.

not sure what year they changed, i think 1990 or 1991.

For the rear, either a 4x4 axle or a 2500LD 2WD axle, with your truck being lowered, i would find a 2500LD 2WD axle, they are the same width as you current axle but are a 14 Bolt SF with 6-Lug.

a 4x4 axle, 10 or 14 bolt is 3" wider, so 1.5" either side.

What year should I get rotors from because I looked up some for a 95 C2500 and they're 8 lug?

Okay so can I swap my spindle to a 91+ spindle and then use K1500 brake rotors?
