Jeremy, first thanks for posting and accepting questions on this subject.

I have recently converted the front drum to disc on my 1970 C20. I would like to stop better and have the same size studs on the rear as well as install a locker. I take it from reading that I have an EATON FF rear. What would I need to change to go to 13" brakes and bigger stud hubs and have my brakes work? Would it be better to get a disk kit from someone like BlackBird and go to disc? Or should I look for a newer rear end with brakes, locker and all in it?

Thanks in advance,

Vince
