Drum to disk rear conversion
« on: May 11, 2014, 10:55:08 pm »
Hi guys new to Site so please bear with me. I have been workingon my 86 k10 and fin ally got to the rear end. I found a disk brakes conversion kit for $350. Would this be worth doing? Drums are already stripped so it wouldn't be a huge deal. Anyone do this? Difficulty level? almost done with the project so help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

     Welcome to the site, if you have a complete working rear disk setup for $350.00 I would say it is well worth it.  Though you did not mention a brand or what kit it is, so I am just going off assumption that it is complete and a working model.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Thanks for the reply from what I see it is calipers and mounting brackets and rotors and looks like 2 lines.  Not sure what a whole kit entitles? And it didn't specify a brand

If you have a picture of the kit you may want to post it.
