Maybe some of you guys know about this,,.
Anyway, I read that their is a company on Facebook called "Cut Bros." that makes an adapter that is used to mount the 800 discs on the older 14FF,, the one with the drum mounted behind the hub, not the later one where the drum slips over the studs.
You are supposed to be able to use all the stock GM parts, calipers, rotors, caliper brackets,, and, the best thing,, you get to have a parking brake.
This sounds great, no longer would you have to cut and reweld perches and shock brackets on the 800 axle.
Now, from the little bit I read, some of the instructions for this were misleading,, I don't know,, but here is a link to the PDF on the instructions,, and it has part numbers.

Edit, you do have to turn-down the hubs on a lathe a little, but that kind of work should be easy enough,, can't have everything I guess.
Edit #2,, here is a link to a thread where the guy did this conversion,, starting on page 37>38 that shows pics.
