I am in the middle of the conversion right now. After calculating all of the different combinations of Captainfab's brackets, rotors and calipers I decided it was cheaper to purchase a complete set up fro auto city classic. I love Captainfab's stuff as I have his brake booster bracket but by the time you outsource all of the parts and pay shipping it is more expensive. Also if there is a problem you have many sources to hunt down instead of one call. For the rears went with:

Motive Gear axles (5x5) with new bearings ,seals, wheel studs $207
auto city classic rear disc brake (e brake) 85 eldorado with bracket and all other parts $440
auto city classic front disc brakes 71 c10 with all parts, bearings etc. $540

I hope to have these installed in the next few weeks and will take pics when I am done.
