I found a set rear disc brake conversion brackets for $120. Then use OE rotors, pads, lines and calipers from later year trucks for the actual stopping.
Eliminates 50lb+ of rotating mass.
How can I not?
Now just trying to find a pair of aluminum hubs that aren't astronomically expensive. But I can keep the steel hubs if that is not possible.
