yes it can be done & i'll bet using oem style replacement parts & not one of those hi dollar kits. i'm using S10 4wd rotors on the front hub of my 50 coupe. this is a "hat" style rotor & gm used it on alot of different vehichles including the rear of some! with just a little machine work to your axle flange ( & maybe the rotor too ),the aforementioned backing plate mod. buy or make a caliper bracket & there you are. a popular choice of caliper is from a certain model cadillac ( not sure which ) that has a really neat hookup for the e-brake cable. it's the same caliper that's used in alot of these kits. i believe the same cad uses those same rotors in the back as the S10 4wd uses in front. an investigative trip to the local auto salvage & auto parts store would confirm all this but i think i'm right. anybody knows better let us know.
when i still had the torque tube rear in my '50 pickup i thought of doing the same thing using 6 lug rotors from 71-87 1/2 ton 4wd pickup. seems relatively simple. hitork, let us know what you think, 'specially if you decide to do it!
