The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Disc brakes - is this possible

I'm exploring all possibilities on putting an ifs under my '50. I've seen some who bolt in the suspension from a 67-84 pickup to their frames. My question is will the rotors from lets say an s-10 or some other vehicle with a 5 x 4.75 fit on full size spindles? I'm trying to keep the same bolt pattern as I have a camaro 10 bolt rear.

With patientsand money you can make anything work.

Those rotors won't interchange, the bearing sizes are too small for that spindle. Have you considered a Heidt's or Fatman's front suspension? You can specify the bolt pattern on the brakes on those.

do like im doing,get a dual pattern wheel for the spare.

ummm.....They don't make dual pattern wheels that have 5 and 6 lug, only ones that have 2 or 3 different sizes of either 4 or 5 lug.

I found a machine shop that will drill the smaller bolt pattern. I have all the of the mustang parts except the crossmember. I do have the stock member but can't find anyone willing to weld it in for me. (too much fabricating) I thought about the aftermarket crossmember but I also have access to a free suspension from a full size truck. I can put it in for 1/3 of the cost of buying the mustang X member and the labour to put it in.

Re drilling the full size truck rotors might be the best option, they have larger brakes than the s-10 or mustang 2. There are also some GM spare rims that are made with 2 bolt patterns, 5x5 and 5x4 3/4. They were used mostly on Cadillac and Oldsmobile.

I have a set of mag wheels that are both 5 x 4-3/4 and 5 x 5. Those wheels would fit both the pickup IFS and the Camaro rear.

Today they are on a '78 Monte Carlo and years ago I ran them on a '75 Chevy pickup.

No, they aren't for sale, but I'm sure there are other sets like them out there.

I already have a set of 16 x 7 tork thrust II's in the 5 x 4 3/4 pattern with 4" back spacing. I've seen some trucks done with this set up and some of them have the wheels sticking out from the wheel wells. I'm hoping to avoid this removing about an 1 1/2 inches from the center of the X member.
