Find a donor vehicle like another s10 and get everything brake related or mortgage the house and order from JEGS/SUMMIT

Yeah, like bratass said, find a donor vehicle, you\'ll need the power booster and the master for sure, probably gonna wanna take as much of the lines as you can, at least from the master to the frame. As far as doing discs in the rear, you have two options. 1) find a newer (as in late 90\'s, I\'m sure someone here can tell you the starting year for discs specifically) S10 (or Blazer, whatever you have) and you\'ll have to yank the whole rear axle assembly. 2) You can go the extra step, put a little bit more work into it (actually not much) and get the rear out of a 95+ Ford Explorer. They come with disc brakes plus a much much stronger rear, 8.8 as opposed to the stock 7.5 thats in your truck. If you really have some money to throw around, you can get a disc conversion set for your stock 7.5 rear, but they are probably like $600+. I never did this type of swap so I\'m not sure if you\'d need to swap out your front calipers too, but I wouldnt think so. I\'m sure someone on here will verify that as well as anything else I may have missed, but that should be a good bit of information to get you started in the right direction. Good way to find rears, either from newer S10s or Ford Explorers, go to CarPart.com (http://www.car-part.com) and do a search, sometimes you can find a pretty decent deal, I got a 95 Explorer rear with discs for $150 through there. Hope this helps, and by the way, Welcome to the Site! Good luck.
