" The mid 70's dodge truck rotor is a big ole heavy super thick honkin thing with a 4 X4.5" bolt pattern on it.
" Might work too, but it is about the thickest rotor I have ever seen! i don't think anything we ever ran on an AMC would go over it!
" 
" Geez it's a monster, like 1.75" thick or thereabouts! I have a new one I bought for $15 to experiment with, but ain't no way!

that doesn't sound like anything you'd find on a '73 polara, which the
rotor i found fits, napa 85558 in their 01/'88 book.  which truck?
i've seen school bus rotors that are that thick, but nothing like that
on a light truck or car.
