    find a rearend out of a newer firebird or a 4wd s10 blazer with disks may be the easiest. Check the trackwidth before you get a rearend though. as for a bolt on kit that lets you keep your 15 inch wheels I am no help.
     
  3. disc brakes in the rear are a big waste of money...85% of your braking power is on the front.
