The rear disc conversion has gone a little over budget.
3/4 ton 1997 4x4 front pads were only $50, that's not bad. The rotors, only $75pair.
And the real pricey item was calipers for the rear of a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado (obviously I eat the $60 core charge, bringing the price for them up to $250), they have mechanical emergency/parking brake provisions.
I could have gone with much cheaper and dug up some used 3/4 ton 1997 front 4x4 calipers, but I like stopping and then staying put.
And I still need to dig up some brake lines.
