I need a disc brake convr. for my 12 bolt rearend!

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a kit that will change my drum brakes to disc on my 1980 chev 1/2 ton camper special!

I just did the brakes yesterday and the fronts went just fine, and the rears went fine as well but, but those disc brakes seem to be way more efficant on pads and braking then drums. And another good selling feature is shear ease of maintanance.

Taking apart a drum brake assembly is like getting lost in a "slinky" factory! Ha ha!

Would anyone know of any conversion kits?

Thanks for all the help!

P.S. I'm really looking for a direct bolt up kit where very little or no welding would be nice!
