DIY Disc Brake Conversion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've been looking at the disc brake conversion kits that cpp make. they're nice and all, but I've found a couple problems with them:
1. They don't make kits for the 1 ton trucks
2. At $375 for the 6 lug kit, it's WAY out of my price range.

It seems to me like the only thing you can't get at a junkyard is the bracket that holds the caliper. I know I can make that on the plasma cutter at school, so I'm not too worried about that.

What I'm wondering, is what holds the brake disc on the spindle?
