Killa video! But also learn this on forum... ,the axels on drum brake trucks are about 1/4" longer then disc brake axles,so the brakes won't line up with out spacers..
I did a read end swap from a late 90s blazer with a lsd, definitely worth it but still has drum brakes so I’ll be swapping those very soon to the 2000 disk brakes. LSD blazer rear end is a must in my opinion tho and you can find one at your local junk yard for dirt cheap!
I wasn't aware of the e brake cable, thank you. I'm using the entire rear end from a Blazer, the only difference that I know of is the overall width of the rear end, it's a little bit wider than the pick up, but the pins line up, so it's a smidge more stability is all it comes down to on my truck, it might not be the same for somebody who cant get any closer to the inside of the fender wells due to a wider tire but there's a grip full of room before you'd be rubbing the inside, I use 235/60/15 all the way around my truck, a little tight fitting on the front because of how low it sits in the front, but all sorts of clearance in the back. Do I need to switch out the proportion valve while i have your attention? And because i am using the rear end from a 4x4 and my '94 Sonoma / (looks like an S-10 with a GMC hood, I like the two lines more than one in the center) lol Are there unseen problems i'm heading into here because of the 4x4 thing ( fingers crossed big time now) Unless you're real quick to reply, i'll find out within a few days I recon because i'm real close to doing the swap as I write this. thank you for posting too, your truck looks tight, what I saw of it.
fantastic video,I have a drag-street henry j with 92 S10 frame, with rear drums. That I want to convert to disk.., your ideas are perfect, I going to start gathering parts..Thanks
@@Chrissutter35 I didnt build it ,but it works great, this is 100inch wheelbase, 10 bolt chevy rear added, he kept the p/s & p/brakes, he tilted the motor to the left 2 inches to clear steering post on chassis, I even put dropped spindles 2 1/2 bolt right up, rides great & handles like a new car
1. Will this work on an older s10 specifically a 97. 2. How much of the ebrake cable do you need like the whole thing. 3. Same question for the brake line to the caliper.
1. Yes! I have found that the rear end and frame are the same from 1994 to 2003. So this should work for your 97. If you want to be safe grab the rear brakes from a 97 blazer or Jimmy. 2. To be safe I pulled the ebrake cable from the caliper all the way to the front door. 3. The connection from the drum and caliper are completely different. So you will atleast need the back half. Good luck 👍 I will be making a follow up video of everything working when I finish painting the truck body.
I just went to the local wrecking yard and pulled the dust covers, backing plates, and e brake cables from a 2wd blazer. Then, went to O'Reilly's and ordered the rear calipers and brakes pads. The rotors are stop tech from summit racing.
Man I’m having trouble finding that anchor backing plate. Can’t find it anywhere. Specifically the one for that passenger side. I found it for the driver side but going nuts trying to find it for passenger side. Any chance you have a link to it?
Question? So all u pulled out of the diff was the 2 smaller gears and 2 c clips right?? Or did I miss something? I’m wanting to do this to my s10. Thanks for help
Yes, to get the axles out you will need to remove a 8mm bolt that is holding the pin for the spider gears in place. Then two c clips. After that the axles slide right out.
What master cylinder are you running? I swapped the drums on my 94 jimmy but need a disc/disc master cylinder, and have had a difficult time finding the right one
The cheap route would be Ebay www.ebay.com/itm/153238598996?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=yucMq8wiS-G&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=JuE1eIFNQ8i&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
So I have a 94’ 2wd 4.3 v6 Chevy s10 extended cab, I am wanting to swap the rear drums for the disc brakes, do I need the entire blazer rear end or just the axle?
I believe the easiest thing you could do is get the entire rear end and swap it in. All blazers, and Jimmy's are 4.3L v6. So the diff gears should be the exact same. But make sure you pull it from a 2wd! As a bonus they all also have a sway bar that you might be able to use. I know in Texas at pick N pull the complete rear end with disc is $172.00 and a core charge of $24.99.
But the cheeper way would be to pull just the brake parts out of a salvage yard and swap them on. Definitely the backing plates and the dust covers for sure. You could get the rear calipers from an auto parts store new for added reliability.
yea. they make way better conversion kits then this junk. ones that fit correctly and don't need any extra supplies. and to the comments yall know this isn't something new right? people have been swapping 210 Truck and Balzer rear drums out sense the early 90s. If you need a TH-cam video to do this, you are definitely not mechanically inclined at all and you need to turn your tool box over to your wife along with your balls to sell on Marketplace. somebody will put them to good use.
I see that you were born knowing how to do everything and never needed any help ever. Also that you can afford "the good stuff" Well, this video isn't for you my friend. I'm just helping and learning along the way. Good luck being a keyboard warrior, and I hope you speak to someone about your anger and negative mindset issues.
Fuck this troll man awesome video my first car ever was a 96 sonoma lowered and I totaled it and I'm just not getting around to finishing my s series childhood build except lifted this time. When I finish this I am gonna do another s dime but lowered

Very help full. I was gana swap the whole rear end out but for that my bag brackets are welded

Yeah I am on air also and didn't want to go through the trouble of reconfiguring the blazer axle.

hey man if this works on you 92 that means this works on the 82-93 trucks as well, hit me up and let me know this would save me so much

I would have replaced both the axle bearing and the seal before reinstalling the axle in the axle tube.
Great job man. Were you able to hook up the emergency brake cable to this setup?
Thats definitely what I am hoping to do. I will make an update video when I install it and what all is needed.
@@justin_meshell87 is that a gm 7.5 10 bolt 28 spline rear diff?

Part numbers would be nice
Hi, Can you send me or post where you got that brake kit. I like the way the back plate bolts on with 4 bolts. Looks clean
from any part store since the 90s
I just went to the local wrecking yard and pulled the dust covers, backing plates, and e brake cables from a 2wd blazer. Then, went to O'Reilly's and ordered the rear calipers and brakes pads. The rotors are stop tech from summit racing.
So you had to shim out the bracket/caliper for wheel fitment ?
Man I’m having trouble finding that anchor backing plate. Can’t find it anywhere. Specifically the one for that passenger side. I found it for the driver side but going nuts trying to find it for passenger side. Any chance you have a link to it?
I got mine out of a local salvage yard. But I will be on the lookout for one for you.
Make sure im tracking,i gotta 2000 sonoma sport. Could i do this same swap?
Question? So all u pulled out of the diff was the 2 smaller gears and 2 c clips right?? Or did I miss something? I’m wanting to do this to my s10. Thanks for help
Yes, to get the axles out you will need to remove a 8mm bolt that is holding the pin for the spider gears in place. Then two c clips. After that the axles slide right out.
Hey I have a question can you just replace the whole rear end that is already set up for disc brakes
Thanks for watching the video. I will be replying to everyone soon!
What rear brake rotors did u use? Was it for a 2wd blazer? Where did u purchase?
What master cylinder are you running? I swapped the drums on my 94 jimmy but need a disc/disc master cylinder, and have had a difficult time finding the right one
called summit or Jegs. only been selling kits now with parts since the 70s
Im currently useing the factory master and booster haven't had any problems but i plan to upgrade to a 94 chevrolet Astro hydro boost
What are the reason for the washers?
Hello, I can't find the same discs as you (ventilate) if you can help me
Ebay drilled and slotted rear rotors for 99 blazer
The cheap route would be Ebay www.ebay.com/itm/153238598996?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=yucMq8wiS-G&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=JuE1eIFNQ8i&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
How thick were the washers you used to space out the backing plate?
I used two 5/16 washers per bolt about the thickness of a nickel. So eight per side. Sixteen in total.
@@justin_meshell87 thanks!
Mine is sticking do I need a master cylinder to release the pressure
You might look at replacing or rebuilding the caliper
is it the same backing plate for side
No unfortunately, they are different
So I have a 94’ 2wd 4.3 v6 Chevy s10 extended cab, I am wanting to swap the rear drums for the disc brakes, do I need the entire blazer rear end or just the axle?

@@justin_meshell87 will 2wd drum ebrake cable work on the newer 2001 rear disc brake?
@What the phuck Unfortunately no. You will need the back half of the e- brake cable from the Blazer or Jimmy to do the disc swap.
Thank you so much brother!!!
