Good morning guys n gals.

I've been messing with getting the parts for my '88/'89 long bed max, and am getting down to the rear axle.

I've already done the Toyota rear swap with a '90 rear. Of course it's drum and since its' getting a warmed over 318, I really want a rear disc setup.

SO, I picked up a pair of rear disc brackets (for a whopping 25.00) and jumped on Rock auto to source some rotors and calipers.
THAT'S when I found out the rotors are 6-lug, and my brain came to a screachin halt..

IS THERE ANYONE WHO KNOWS WHAT 5-LUG DISC THAT WORKS FOR A 2wd, SOLID AXLE?

If this gets all messy with searching all sorts of rotors/axles for weeks, I might just scrap it and fab in my Conquest IRS..
That way I'd already have the discs AND a 3.54 LSD rear chunk.

P.S.--- I really really like pictures too!
