This question is primarily directed to Mr. Biggs, as I see his truck pictured on the Turner Brake website http://www.turnerbrake.com/truckkits.html (but anyone else can answer, of course).
The text of the Truck Kit page emphasizes using GM rotors with a 5 lug X 5 inch bolt pattern. Does this mean I should not go out and buy the #40273 Ranger steel wheels (5 X 4.5 like the Studebaker wheels) prior to getting the Turner Brake kit? It appears that his kit for cars does offer the use of Ford rotors (5 x 4.5) but not the truck kit. What rotors did you use on your truck? And, if I do a front kit with 5 x 5, now my front wheels will not be able to fit on the back, and vice versa. I'll have to carry two spares!
Am I missing something here? Please tell me I am.
