Part 12: The 1991 Chevy OBS project truck gets rear disk brakes! The disc brake brackets are from Cunningham Machine. They make brackets to mount factory parts for a “low buck” alternative to the “rear disk brake kits”. With the purchase of the brackets, a parts list is included for the parts you will need to put together your own rear brake kit. It is a bit more work, but is it less expensive than a kit? Let's find out.

Speed bleeders were added to the calipers but failed to show in the video.
The final cost…I added tools and supplies needed although you could rent tools and might already have the supplies. you could put brakes on your truck for about $425. That cost also includes core charges which, if I had some old cores to turn in would have saved me $60. That is way less than any kit, even when you have to add parking brake calipers. And, includes rear diff fluid, gasket sealer and rear seals (which are not in a kit).
