I designed and built a big brake upgrade on my 72 K5 with a Dana 60 front axle. I used 2010 Dodge RAM 14" slip on rotors and 4 piston calipers. I did also swap in a rear disc axle and upgraded to hydroboost as well. I was lucky with the OE hub and made it all fit together. Haven't run the package yet but I have a version 2.0 that I'm thinking of that uses new hubs from Spintek with a different offset.
I really need to do some research and figure out a good rear brake setup for my 14FF that'll retain ebrake, not use Caddy calipers that people seem to not like, and not cost outrageous amounts of money.
