You'll need a 4WD 3/4 ton rotor -- the 1/2 tons are only six lug 
Note that the Eldorado calipers used for parking brake are very hard to come by, so you might rethink the disc idea.

and lots of guys after install dont like the parking brake function on the calipers.
The eldorado calipers arent your only option either. Im using 3/4T front calipers off of a 10B. I believe the 10B 1/2T calipers work too.
1/2 tons are the same size overall, but have a smaller piston.
I shoulda said "You should research this more, as it's not as easy/cheap as some make it out to be."

yea i aint too worryed about the parking brake, i was wondering if i could use any 73-87 rotor for both axles
