RE: Rear wheel disc conversion?

You can do this with out changing out the rear axle. Here is a link that shows you how to swap the rear axle but if you scroll to the bottom there is a list of parts you need to convert it with out the axle swap.

That link is great. Except the kit your suggesting looks like it is for fullsize Blazers.Looks like the first link is for S10 trucks.

Their listings are rather confusing. I assumed the first one was for S-10 pickups, and they stopped making the full-size blazers at some point, hence them dropping the S-10 from the Blazer name, so I just wasn't sure.

Although, look at the price. $240-$260 for the bracket and rotor. Toss in another $300 for the calipers and you could have bought a stock disc brake rear axle from a salvage yard complete.

Oh, I agree. That's what I would do. That's what I did years ago on a Z/28. Although I had to end up changing the proportioning valve and then they worked great.
