small bolt rotors?

I have a 79 2wd and I wanted to know if anyone makes a small bolt pattern front rotor. 4 1/2 ford car bolt pattern. I have lots of wheels for the 4 1/2 pattern, just wanted to ask first before I buy more wheels.


thanks Jesse

The 1980 F100's had the small car pattern but I'm not sure if the spindle beaings are the same size. If they are you could put 1980 F100 rotors on the front with no problen , however the rear end bolt pattern would be alot more difficult to overcome.

If the 80 F100s had the small pattern it should still be a 9" rear in that same truck and you can direct bolt swap that into your truck housing and all (I bolted a 9" out of a 77 into my 86, then got ahold of a 80 from a F150 and it was identical right down the the same brake lines) Oh coarse mine was stil the 5on 5.5 pattern due to being 4x4 but it's worth the look if you can find one with that pattern.
