rear disks are a good idea if you spend a lotta time in the mud, loaded down more often than not, or, if your drums and shoes are discontinued (like my one ton's) Personally, if you don't meet any of those criteria, you are better off with drums in back.

71-72 K20's have front disc brakes stock. So either hit up rockauto.com or your local NAPA, or hit the junk yards and get everything off a 71-72.

Why do you not want to use factory front disc parts?

I just swapped in a 71 front axel with the same gear ratio, changed the M/C and prop valve, new front line and done. Took about a weekend.

My point exactly! Forget looking for expensive aftermarket stuff for the front. Just hit a bone yard, or the for sale section here and save a lot of $$$$.

Re: disc brakes?
