72 K10 Rear Disc Brake Kits Available????

Maybe I'm missing something here but I just can't find a rear disc brake conversion for my 4wd truck. Does anybody know of a source for a kit or how to make it myself? If nobody makes them maybe you could explain why. It seems like with all the stuff available for our trucks these should be also. I have the stock discs on the front but drums on the stock 12 bolt rear.

This guy gives a pretty god description of putting the rear disks on a K5

There are several sources for the caliper brackets including one of our own members I think.

Snoop these guys they have some pretty decent looking pieces.

Thanks for the info. mr48chev. I think I can handle that. Has anybody done this conversion on a 4wd?
