C-10 rear disc brake conversion

[SPLATT]

I'm helping my brother in law build a 82 C-10 and he's getting a 05 Tahoe as an engine/trans donor. I was going through it in my head as to other parts we can use on the C-10 and I thought about the rear discs until I realized the Tahoe is 6-lug rather than 5. Does anyone know if there's a 5x5 rotor that will allow the brakes to be used on the 82?

All the after market kits have a dual pattern rotor.

Better check backing plate mount position and clocking on both axles .

I wanted to do this years ago and drum brake to factory disk was NOT a simple swap over job .

Swap the front to 6 lug?

It's just that we have the entire Tahoe and would like to harvest as much as possible. If we can't use the rear disc set up in without a lot of headache to make it work we'll move on to something that will work better including just rebuilding the rear drums.

We would rather not.

We would rather not.

open you to more rim options this way . the reason factory did away with 5 lug . there is aftermarket 6 lug 2wd hubs . i wish i had done it on my c10 build .
