I have a 94 GMC Sierra 1500 2-Wheel Drive that has drum brakes in the rear and I would like to convert the brakes to disk. The drums are just always out of adjustment and are out of round. I do not want to go nuts as far as money is concerned buying a conversion kit. I was wondering if anyone has done this and if so what parts did they use? Thanks in advance.
