Re: 14 bolt conversion to disc questions/options

Can I buy just the bracket for the calipers and rotor, or do I need to buy a kit?

Are there any other options for a parking brake? All the kits want to add $200 for the parking brake calipers. Are there parking brake calipers from other cars that would work?

When’d did the rear ends (3/4 ton) start getting disc brakes? 1999?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m sure there must be somebody out there that has done this.
Just fix whatever issue you've created with the original brakes. They have worked just fine for GM for decades.
