Is there anyone who has converted a dually to rear disk brakes? Or is a kit available? Thanks I am in the process of converting my 86 C30 454 400th to a 6.2 with Banks kit and a Dodge NV4500. And any help on the brakes would be great since this truck will be used with a 3000lb slide in camper and a car trailer.

I'm not sure the front pads & rotors you'd use in a conversion would provide as much stopping power as the huge 13"x3.5" drums that are on a dually. Maybe you could find a set from a late-model truck with 4-wheel discs. Plus you'd get the integral parking brake, too.

Thats what I am looking for some one who has used latemodel rears on an early truck
