There is NO machine shop in a 6 county area that will turn my stock hubs. I even looked at swapping to trailer hubs, also too big to clear the rotor hat. I’m not willing to try the aluminum hubs made for 59-71 conversions. Have spent more than the truck is worth already.
Will a 70s D100 rotor with integral hubs fit 69 beam axle spindles? Or is it the same too shallow unit as the car versions?
Is there another truck rotor/hub combo that will fit out of the box?

If I didn't build it, it ain't mine.

Re: What a pain in the butt... disc swap
I'm shocked you can't find a shop willing to do it. Took me all of 15 minutes per to turn mine down. Maybe they don't want the liability? You could say they're for a tractor :) I used to tell a local hydraulic hose place that I needed brake lines for a "go kart" when really I needed them for a car or motorcycle project...

Other than Comp Cams and its affiliate companies, the not so greater Memphis metroplex is an automotive wasteland.
