John,
I have a roommate that has a '98?? S-10 Blazer and I've crawled around it to look at the brakes. The e-brake is like the '98+ F-bodies & C5 'Vettes in that it uses a mini-drum located inside the rotor "hat". Though, just by eyesight, the rotor diameter doesn't look to be as big as the C5's or '98+ F-bodies (I'll have to check my catalogs to see). One thing to look out for is how the e-brake cable is routed. It may interfer with our lower shock mount (you'll need to check). I have yet to see pics of these style of brakes swapped on, but I think it can be made to work.

Good luck with your Judge!!

John,
Just looked at the parts books. Yep, the rear discs carry a different part number than the F-bodies and C5's :(
