what did they do here

what did they do to the truck i just got to get a 5 lug swap on the front of my truck ...need to buy new rotors and not sure what truck they are off of and is it still the stock arms

They probably have swapped the spindle with a spindle made for disc brakes and then used a car rotor and calipur. A disc brake spindle has a place to bolt a calipur up to. A drum brake spindle only has a place to bolt up a tie rod at least on these model trucks. The rotor has to be off a car because if it was off a truck it would be 6 lug. All the A arms are more then likely still stock, I can tell the upper A arm is or at least it looks awfully similar to mine. I think thats what has been done to it. People put 5 lugs on for more wheel choices : )

no cause they 67-87 trucks are 5 lug im guess that in no way would a car spinle bolt to a truck

Well, I thought that they were 6 lugs also, well in that case its just the brake setup off a 67-87. The entire engine cradle will bolt up to these trucks with no modification but I would bet that its just the disc brake setup with the spindle. And yes a car spindle will bolt to a truck.

looks like a 70 or 71 chevy 1/2 ton disc... i am doing the same thing to my 62. still undecided if i want to stay with 6 lugs..ya gotta tell me how you uploaded those pics, i tried to post a shot of my doner 70.. like 6 times, i give up! looks just like what you got there..

make a photobucket account and then load you pics and use the bottom link of the 4 link to copy and post the pic on the page of your post...some website use dif codes..but this one uses the lower one

Will the whole front suspension off of a 72 half ton bolt on to my 62? everywhere Ive read where people did this has always been 70-71. but I have acces to a 72 and before I buy it I want to know for sure if it will work. and will the schock mounts align with the shock mounts on my 62
