do not know what it came out of. what I need to
know is if there is a 6 lug rotor that would work
on this front end? And if it would even work the
mustang II front end is 22 3/4" inside of the
frame rails my 1948 1/2ton gmc is 23" inside
the frame rails.I want to keep the stock wheels.
any help would be great!

MIIs usually have small 11 inch rotors. A 12 inch rotor is usually used with the 6 lug pattern. If all you want is disc brakes, there are kits out there that will let you use your stock front axle. If you are looking for the ride improvement then it would be better to change out your rear end to. MII front ends usually drop the front of the truck between 4 and 8 inches... Are you going for the slammed look? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 348 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 348 | i cut the center of the wheel out and weld in a five lug pattern thats how i keep the old look.-"THE CUT MASTER" | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 595 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 595 | hey the factory m2 junk is 10 gauge. i had a 50' chevy truck/sb,pg. 20 years back and the seams on the m2 stuff started coming apart! the aftermarket stuff is reasonable and well built .180,.250 wall stuff. are you going to drive it daily? if not use a disc conversion and leave the straight axle. if you don't like it someone will buy it from you and then put in a m2 conversion. the guys on this site know their AD'S! STAY COOL! | | |
