Disc break conversion
« on: November 04, 2013, 07:42:18 pm »
I have a 76 Scottsdale C10 with stock 454 and I'm doing a frame off rebuild and I was wondering if any of you guys knew where I could get a conversion kit for disc brakes in the rear since it has drums right now.

Any help is appreciated!

I fabbed my own on my '77's 14-bolt.

I have seen the weld on brackets on eBay. I prefer the bolt on type so if you want to return your axle to stock you can.

i would find out what axle you have then do a search on ebay for the kit. and go from there

Their is a company called Right Stuff that sells the conversion. I used it on my 82 c-10 and they work really well.
