Disc rears - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 71 c10 12 bolt, and I want to switch to disc in the rear. I have all new in the front , with pb master and porportioning valve. I can't afford the whole wildwood kit.
Recommodations? Or stay clear offs? I did a search, but there is no direct answers to my questions.
Thanks.
Glen

The most economical way is to use a set of brackets on your stock axle. They can be found in our Vendor Marketplace where CaptFab sells them. The down side is they do not have E-brake provisions.

Darn I need ebrakes. I'll keep searching. Thanks.

I got a set of the brackets from captainfab and bought some camaro calipers and the mounting brackets that you bolt up to the captainfab brackets for $75 from a salvage yard.

Camaro calipers have the ebrake.

Summit Racing sells a complete rear disc brake kit from SSBC.
(e-brake included)
Very reasonably priced.

Cool thanks for the link and the info. I have found the Wilwood rear kit for $689.00 i think it was. so i decided I'm saving up for that and the fronts.

BuiltwithIvy · 12-30-2011, 10:36 AM

You can go a lot cheaper if you look around at the kits on ebay and piece the parts together, I think I spent 250 for everything needed, and another 50 to get my axles machined down for the rotors

Another option is the McGaughys set up. Its probably the best value for a 13" conversion on the market. Several of our Forum Vendors sell McGaughys product, so check the Suspension Marketplace or the Vendor Marketplace for the best deals.

Thanks guys, i'm saving up for the Wilwood kits, it will be awhile, but it think it will be worth it.
