Looking For Rear Disk Brake Options (56" Ford F100, Dana 60 Rear End)

Hi guys,

I'd like to add a disk brake setup to my rear end. The rear end is not original, (or at least I don't think it is). From research, I believe it's a Dana 60 rear end. I also have a 5 x 5.5 lug pattern. The air shocks are definitely not original, especially with their mounting location.

Looking for some options on a rear disc brake conversion, or a cheap junk yard find that has the lug pattern I need, with a similar rear end and factory disc brakes and cable e-brake.

For reference, here is my current rear end. Any knowledge and insight is appreicated:

Yes! What BJ said! I just don't like typing.
I have been thinking about adding disc's to my rear DANA 60. And would like to get other thoughts on this. I want to keep my emergency brake. Some others on the web have talked of using a Cadillac caliper that has a manual park brake lever.
