Rear disk brake conversion
I was wondering about converting my 72 f250 rear dana 60 to disk brake. I heard i could use chevy over the counter parts but not sure, disk brake and caliper. I would like to have e brakes as well since my truck is a manual trans.

According to this page (scroll to the bottom), it is possible to use Eldorado calipers with an integral parking brake mechanism. However it does require custom parking brake cables:
