Wyatt, not that I have any, but good used rotors, well above the min. thickness would fit the bill, would they not? doug

They are both great guys Hope this helps.
Take care, be safe! -
Sounds like you've got some decent leads. Hope you get it figured out, it's a nice looking truck.
-
You think you might find a good ole boy to turn them down just a bit?
-
Hey there Wyatt, I see you might have a lead for the part ;-)) Cool
There are two places you might try for parts in the future;
1) Original Parts Group = more for older cars
2) Classic Industries = more for trucks
I'll be looking forward to your update to this problem ;-))
Take Care my friend :-)) -
Hi Wyatt, it looks like you have this figured out but you may want to check out used parts for other vehicle projects at www.lkqcorp.com Not the cheapest but they have a big network and inventory.
-
Hope you find some that will be a nice truck to have around, I'll ask around and see if anybody I know has some..

It is unbelievable that Chevy parts are not on tap? Honda learned the cross part ting from Chevy?? I got a friend! I'm checking!

Could you put Spindles from a 75 1 Ton on ?
-
What a shame Wyatt. That looks like a very handy truck to have. Just have to cut a hole in the floor and do a fred flinstone when u need to stop. Bit hard on the feet though mate. Must be some around in the scrap yards. Finding them though, Good luck
