I know i can lock up my drum brakes just fine and they have over 150k on the original shoes.

Blackbirds makes a conversion kit & TSM also makes a kit, but both of these use cadaillac eldarado caliper to retain the e-brake. But you are using a CAR caliper to try and stop a 6500+lb truck. Not to smart in my book, b plus they dont stop to well and warp rotors from getting hot

there was a conversion i seen a guy used a 98 and newer van rear dis brakes and adaped them to his 97 10.25.It stopped very welll. I think i would of just used the van axle, but a van uses a lighter axle than a pick up. he had to have several one off machined parts made$$$$$$$$$$
