1965 Chevy C-10 front 6 lug disk brakes

[Learpilot]

Has anybody put front 6 lug disk brakes on a 65 Chevy C-10 ? It is my son's truck and he wants to keep the 6 lug wheels(to keep the stock look). I don't know if the wheels will clear the calibers.
Did you use a later Chevy pick up  or aftermarket ?
Thanks for the info !!!

I found this on another site  "71-72 spindle and get 91 3/4 ton rotors with the 71-72 caliper."

I put 6 lug front discs on my `63 with a kit from:

I think they had a caution about caliper clearance with stock rims but my truck already had 15x8 aftermarket rallies. No problems.
