I finally finshed the rear disc conversion on my truck and after way to many road blocks .....IT WORKS GREAT.
and now it's on to the first show of the year

Ahem.... Pictures please!

And some details! Did you use a kit? Factory parts (from a newer verhicle like an Imp)? etc etc!

I am curious how much difference you noted between disk/drum and disk/disk (I am assuming you had disk in front already?) - that would be a good data point for a 66 guy trying to decide on Disk/Drum vs. Disk/Disk up front.

Congrats! Looking fwd to some more info, sounds interesting.

i did'nt use a kit, i bought some brackets off ebay and used s-10 calipers and rotors from a 88-93 k-1500 had to do alot of working on it like turning the nub down on the axles so the rotors would slide on and cutting the caliper bolts off a bit so the wheel would turn, my brakes were not so good so these things are like caddy brakes now, truck had 4 wheel drum so when i got it the first thing i did was put drop spindles and disc on front.
don't know if i'll get any pics up everything is put back together and truck is waiting to get washed got a show next weekend and last year i got best paint at this show . I'll try to do it again this year. if i get pics i;ll put them on .
