Looks like cunningham machine now makes spacers to adapt NBS disc brakes. Kinda pricey, but they're the only ones I've seen.

Seems like most even say there’s really no improvement from drum brakes, other than ease of service.

Link?

That could be a major player in the GMT400 rear-disc-conversion world--if the rotor diameter and caliper piston diameter is adequate, and if they retain the park brake.

Welp, looks like its only for the 14 bolt (doesn't state semi or full float) and the 11" drums.

They do have brackets for the others though.

Respectfully, that makes even less sense, considering you already have good brakes with a 14 bolt.

That first link claims to be for the '88-'98 10 bolts, but specifically states 11" factory drums only.

The second one just says "'88-'98 GM 14 bolt." As sync mentioned, no specifications on whether it's for the 9.5" or 10.5" (or both?). No specifications for factory brake setup on the 14 bolt listing either.

I’m old school, when I have a question, I just call. Jeremy picked right up!
I'll circle back to it eventually and not be lazy about it. I was just looking one day while riding in the wrong side of the car and shot the email off instead of co-piloting.
