rear disc brake conversion

i am looking for any info on the conversion on a 92 fullsize stepside. i know ssbc makes a kit, but its over a grand. just looking to see if there is any other way to get rear disc brakes.

yeah let me know to.....

late seventy sevilles had disc brakes and the same bolt pattern as 88-98 chevys(5 lug) Impala SS (94-96)also has disc brakes in the rear and its also the same bolt pattern. Im sure any one of these can be adapted. I know the impala has a drum brake inside the disc hub, maybe the e brake cable will still work, just some ideas. I used late 80s camaro disc brakes on mine, but I also used an old ten bolt for a narrower axle. I had to redrill the axles and stuff though. Hope this helps.

Check out fullsizechevy.com. that is where i found out how to do mine on my 97 yukon. only cost me around 3 bills to do it too.

i got mine from tsm mfg. (the streetrod manf. co. inc.), it ran me like 700 with everything and that was with calipers that had e-brake i believe the ones without are a lot less expensive. the site is tsmmfg.com

Make one like i did...

damn Dubs thats a pretty good idea!
i bought a rear axle out of a 00-06 silverado for my yukon with everything on it for used for 400 bucks.i had to buy new brake hoses and it all bolted up fine.
so i got about 450 in mine.
9.5 ring gear 10 bolt axle.

What all was entailed with that conversion of yours?

after reading 18 pages of post on fullsize chevy this is what i have come up with. 94-96 Impala rotors, s10 front calipers, s10 front brake lines, and Kore3 brackets are needed. All of this can be obtained for less then 200 dollars. This setup would do away with the emergency brake cable and i myself look forward to completing this mod.

i bought a kit from speedway and ended up having to machine the axle flanges down for the hats to fit...
