What spindles do I need to convert my drum brakes to disc on the front? I need to stick to 6 lugs so my rally wheels will work. What truck spindles can I ask for at the local parts house and get the ones needed for this application?

Spindles from 71-87 work well, used is fine. The rotors are aftermarket only, CPP & ECE both carry them separately CPP page

Brian, did you use truck or car spindles?
Why not take the calipers and rotors at the same time if they are usable?

I used 71 C10 spindles, sorry I just always think "truck". The 6 lug rotors are only available aftermarket(GM went to 5 lug w/the discs), use the calipers for cores or rebuild them. Brian
