Is there a conversion kit out there to upgrade from drum to disc and keep the 6 lug? I use my 61 panel as a daily driver and dont want to have 5 lug up front and 6 in the back. (for the reason of carryng a spare) plus the additional cost of getting two new rims powdercoated to match.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,Mac

You might also look at front discs off a late 70s Blazer...6 lug, less expensive and an easy conversion.

See my reply in the general truck discussions and check cpp (chevrolet performance products) for an axle conversion kit. I think it was cheaper than the disc conversion kit. Maybe 250.00. It just swaps the axles out and you get to keep your original rear. The front conversion should be real cheap if you hunt the salvage yards.
