Disc Brake Upgrade for G-body

Upgrading a g-body rear end to accept a set of rear 98-02 f-body disc brakes. Getting this done and ready for Power Tour this year!

I did this conversion on my 68 Camaro rear end that I put under a 1946 GMC. I bought two 1/4 Inch axle shims, put between backing plate and axle housing. To get correct the correct spacing for caliper bracket. Then bought two left side emergency brake cables for a blazer. I used a 4 wheel disc master cylinder and porp valve. Worked out pretty good.

Once you get the thrust set on your pinion its a good idea to drive it and check it a few times. Usually the endplay gets looser so you have to pop the drive shaft off and snug the pinion nut . Not a bad idea to put a dial indicator on it and throw out that break in oil when you do this.

Thanks for taking the time out to show us some shit. Great Vid 👌

I use the end of the axle, pulls the seal right out.

What brake fitting do you use that goes to hard line to brake hose?

Hello, im working on doing this conversion on my 84 monte. Why does the 4wd option not work for us. I can find a lot of the 4wd options but hard to find the 2wd 98- 04 s10 blazers.

Nice post but not clear on disc brake bolt on since not too much footage. 5/16" carrier bolt dude. Plus smaller drill bit to start holes in future...is a pilot hole. Hope this works for me too.

Good job. Check mine too.. Caprice 1992 complete conversion kit with modern gm opel trw calipers with emergency brake and mercedes rear disk brakes. Plates are made from scratch by myself. All parts are domestic buying and new, except complete used rebuilded calipers from domestic partshop. More info on impalassforum in brakes category: 300mm rear disk brakes...

[G_marvelous]

Have you found any aftermarket brackets that moves the shocks over?

[TheAkstewie]

Where are you still able to run a 15 inch rim with that brake upgrade?

[grandaddyl]

Can I put the calibers facing the the front of car instead of the rear of the car to not run into the problem with the shocks

[G_marvelous]

Can you post the link for the proportioning valve that you got from summit

[joelhenry]

The video answered my comment as soon as I posted it

[joemillion]

That bracket that moved the shock over where did you get it and can i use coilover with it?

[Bball]

Did you have too change the proportioning valve

[williamlewis]

@Tunning styx question.. Do you have to use backing plate if your deleting parking brake? Also if I keep parking brake will 2000 camaro backing plate work with my 99 c5 corvette calipers?

[TheAkstewie]

What’s the part number for the bubble to flare fitting?

[joelhenry]

What about the proportioning valve do you need to do anything there

[geethangbaby]

Can you use a 98 or 99 firebird backing plate and caliber?
