Is there anyone out there that sells a kit for disk brake conversion for 4 wd, 1970 blazer?

Front disks should be a direct swap with a 71-72 setup. If you become a subscribing member, you could post a "wanted to buy" thread and I'm sure someone would have everything you need.

There are several rear disk kits available too - check out http://www.blackbirdscustomtrucks.com/

if you just want the disk brake set and you're not talking about the brake booster or master cylindar then you should just go to a salvage yard and find a half ton axle that you can get the parts from. I just did the swap for around $100

that is kind of what we figured out today (my mechanic), we started the search after a conversation with the guy from Blackbirds custom trucks, he was a wealth of knowledge.
