    OK, long story short, I need a disc brake rotor that will bolt on to an '802 Chevy C10 spindle (and work with the corresponding caliper) that has a 5 on 4 3/4 bolt pattern. The stock truck rotors are all 5 on 5, I am having a a hard time finding something that works. I don't want to have to have the rotors drilled for 5 on 4 3/4 if I can avoid it. I already have to buy new rotors, if I can get what I need out of the box, that will be a better option. I know its a little OT, but it is all going on a 50's Chevy truck. I need the use a particular set of wheels, hence the issue. Wheel adapters will not work, already tried that- too wide.

    shoot, and I just went through a pile of work changing my 4 3/4 to 5 on 5.I asked a lot of people questions and tried different rotors but couldn't find any the same with a different pattern. Drilling isn't hard if you have a friend with a lathe with 4 chuck and a dial indicater to help scribe your circle, then divide with a caliper.I think this is your only hope.

    Well, of all things, I managed to dig something up while I was sitting here tonight. I have looked and looked, but never saw this before. The 1991 Camaro 1LE option disc brake rotors match up to the 81-86 chevy truck spindles and calipers. Luckily, I have those on the truck, so I think i have found my solution. Thanks for the help!
