I have wanted to do the same to mine, but I would have to use the Eldorado calipers which have been a little hard for me to find, and when I do find them they are too expensive.

I don't want to lose my emergency brake and as far as I know, that's the only way to keep it. I have seen some other new calipers with the built-in ebrake on Speedway, but I'm not sure if they will work.

If you don't "need" the e-brake or need it to pass inspection, then the conversion is the way to go. There are a whole lot of how-to's all over the 'net that show you how to do the conversion.

Killer truck, by the way.
