I did a search for this and came up with a bunch of info, but nothing that was 100% satisfying to me...LOL...

I have a complete set of Disk brakes (front and rear) from a late model F body (1998+) and want to use them on the chevelle since I am a cheapie and no longer have an F body. (Remember the 98+ f body does not use the same brakes as the 93-97.) The Chevelle is a 4 wheel power drum setup and I am wondering what I have to do:

Fronts: what do I need (besides custom brackets to mount the caliper to the spindle) to make this happen. Can I use the stock 1972 drum spindle?

Rears: Is this do-able? I have yet to see a post where somebody succesfully used the late 4th gen rear discs. If somebody has done this, please give me all the info you can!


Thanks in advance guys!
