Did the factory offer rear disc brakes? Don't remember seeing it before.

Not on any models that I know of. Rear disc brakes on trucks was first tried in 99 and didn't workout so they went back to drums just started in the later 2000 years as far as I know when they went back to all 6 lug wheels..

It's on the internet; it must be true.

I think the 4 wheel disc brakes were only offered with the extremely rare Corvette engine option.

It probably only has 4 wheel disc brakes till you show up and look at it. Once you make the owner actually get under the truck and look at the drums on the rear it no longer has them.

Either that or it is a strange typo.

I'm sure it has 4 wheel brakes on it. Most people don't have a clue. I hope it was a honest mistake.

Probably a old large car rear end that's is my guess if it's 5 lug. Caddy or Impala something that was 5x5.

It doesn't look too bad. Not a $2000 truck but it looks unmolested - depending on the rear disk situation.

Plus it's ochre in color. If Da-burb sees it he might buy it just for the color.

Just for the purpose of useless trivia, the drum brakes returned to the C and K series truck in the model year 2005, after having rear disc brakes from the model years of 99-04. And for the bonus round of super duper useless trivia, the Hollender interchange says that an axle won't change from a drum brake rear end to a disc brake one[or vice versa] but it is wrong, the part number may be different however the axle is the same.
