Has anyone used the rear disc brake conversion brackets on Ebay? I'm wanting to convert my c-10's rear to disc's but I don't want to spend $500.00. Any ideas to accomplish my goal?

You doing this for added stopping power, or for the bling? They hardly do anything back there that the drums don't do, and the drums are lighter and cheaper.

A little of both, I'm going to have to replace my rear brakes anyway and thought that rear discs would stop better and look better as well.

id just get them for looks, you barely use the rear brakes, its just that drum brakes dont really look good.
