I'd like to convert my 64 C10 to front disks. If I understand what I've read correctly, I can use the whole setup from a 72 (or so) to 80-something C10 and basically bolt it in...with possibly having to elongate bolt holes for the steering box.

I figger I'll have to replace the master cylinder and proportioning valve...and it would be nice to add a power booster along with a power steering pump if I cn find the right donor.

The question is about the wheels...are most of the 70-something thru 80-something 1/2 tons 5 or 6 bolt wheels? I'd actually prefer 5 bolt...like a 5x4 3/4 pattern, since that matches everything else I've got. But it would just be nice to know what to expect.

The next question is about the rear wheels. If I go to 5-bolt fronts (assuming this is the way it works out) what's the best way to convert the rears? Swap out the whole rear end from a donor truck? I spose that would work, but I'd prolly lose my 4.10 (or thereabouts) gears. Aren't most of the later trucks usually equipped with a 3.08 or something like that? I spose that would make my granny 4-speed a real 4-speed....especially if I found one with a posi rear end.

Oh, well...any ideas would be welcomed.

Thanks,

Ray
