I changed the rear axle to get rear disk and used a 2002 Chevy 3500 master. Worked great. Lots of work but in the end its perfect and you can now get parts for years to come.

Thanks Dave. I'd love to change the rear-end and do the disc brakes but it's way above my budget right now. Rear end is good but it's not the greatest for going down the freeway which will need to be addressed sooner or later. I was thinking of adding a brownie but now I'm just going to save up and do as you have mentioned. Hey going slow on the freeway has it's advantage..more looks.. thanks
