was surfing, and discovered that dexter axle is offering disc brake retrofit kits in three sizes.

there are some other interesting things at the dexter site including a hydralic booster unit for disc brakes.

I don't suppose these could be mounted to a '96 Caprice that currently has large rear drums........

try junkyarding a set of disc's off a new Silverado. My bet is it would pretty well be a bolt on. If not check with
http://www.azkickin.com/ They could probably make a set that would use off the shelf parts. I have their kit on my 75 Jimmy. Just need to find a rotor with the correct bolt pattern. Might be able to use a 2wd top hat for the truck if no then need to find a solid axle 4x4 that has same bolt patern and it can be made to work.
Here is a write up I did. Using their product. They recently changed names after their Aerospace machine buisness got slow. Tell Bill or Bill Jr that "Grim" said to call if you deal with them.
