I once had a 90 2500 2wd that was referred to as a "light duty" 3/4 ton. It had a 6-lug bolt pattern. You might be able to just buy the 6 lug rotors, but I'm not sure if the spindles are the same. It's worth a shot, though.
As for the rear, you could just have a machine shop drill your axles to the 6-lug pattern or get new axles.
spindles are the same, calipers are the same- it will work i did it to a 94 2wd suburban. t-stark is right, the axles themselves are too long you must change entire rear end. i dont know if there are any years of the light-duty 3/4 ton that had abs, the rotors i used did not have an abs ring. thats if you even care about that.
5.3 2wd upgrades: Nelson tune, stainless lt's, magnaflow, e-fans, msd's, cai.
I recently had this same 5 lug/6 lug conversation in my head. I had been wanting wheels for my truck. Nothing fancy for me as my wallet will not tolerate fancy right now. The problem was that everything that I saw was completely gaudy and far too big (larger diameter). Not at all what I was after. Then there were the very few 5 lug options in a reasonable (15 -18") size but they were ugly. Between ugly and gaudy what was I to choose.
I remember when I bought my 95 back in 2001. The newer generation of pickups was still new and 15" wheels with a 5 x 5 pattern were VERY common. Fast forward to a time when I can afford to apply some of my change to styling and there are no more options. What happened??
So my thoughts shifted to changing out the axles and rotors. Forget about it. Even salvaged parts are OUTRAGEOUSLY priced here in Calif. It's ridiculous what they want for stuff that was going to be thrown away anyhow. Well, in the end I stuck it out with the 5 x 5 and had Cragar machine a set with that pattern. Only 15" tall and simple design. They look okay but, well, they look okay.
