rear disc brakes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I would like to put disc brakes on the rear of my 71 SWB 4x4. I want to keep my 6 lugs. Can I swap them from a newer pickup, or do they even have rear disc brakes? I would also like to get bigger discs for the front, anyone know if any of the newer trucks have bigger discs with bigger calipers? Also - I will be keeping my 15 inch wheels, so I can't go too big b/c of clearance issues.

Those all look nice, but I was hoping for a budget brake job, that's why I was hoping I could use something off a newer truck - from the junk yard.
