There are plenty of places to get 6 lug kits for the 1/2 tons but I haven't been able to find 8 lug kits. I confess I've only been cruisin' the web looking a couple of times recently as I've gotten more serious about doing this. Any sources out there? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | I've never seen a front disk conversion kit for a 3/4-ton. The conversion has been done, but there does not seem to be a kit available to do it.
There is an outfit that does rear disk conversion kits that might include your truck. If I remembered the name I'd share...
Swapping your 3/4-ton front axle for a 1/2-ton front axle lets you swap 5- or 6-lug disks on the front.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 122 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 122 | I think that any I've heard of done on a 3/4 ton have been pieced together form a bone yard. Don't know any of the details though. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 | There is an outfit that makes a kit for the 10 bolt rear. It's a 4wd company, I just can't remember who. With the older 10 bolt you have to install bigger studs.
I've seen some home-brewed front conversions, just nont that will pass my standards for durability and strength.
