Re: Rear end with disk brakes?

Just have the rear end you have rebuilt with new bearings, a posi-traction unit, and the gears you want. Then buy one of the many rear disc swap kits that are available in the aftermarket.

There are no EZPZ direct bolt in rear ends that will work. If that was the case... all these old trucks would have discs in the rear.
