Rear drum to disc - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm wanting to convert my rear drum to disc brakes.....

I'd just like to find a rear end with disc already and posi, but what would be wide enough to work?

The other alternative is a locker for the rear end and just converting over, but without buying some high priced kit, what parts form other vehicles can be used?

I heard the rear end from a 78 or 79 Cadillac Seville will fit with minor mods. Better do a little search first.
