Rear disc brake kit for 72 Cutlass

I have searched and found rear disc brake conversions that require spacers or fab work. Do any of the kits out there provide a bolt on option that converts a stock 72 Cutlass with corporate 10 bolt axle to rear disc? I am not looking for originality, I just want it to work and fit right. Thanks

I'm going to be using C6 brakes front and rear. You can put LS f-body backing plates on and C5, C6 and f-body calipers bolt up. And the parking brake comes with with them. Search on pro-touring.com They say you can also use blazer rears I believe.

Are you using the Kore 3 brackets? I have been asking Tobin questions about the rear. I need to confirm axle measurements for my car.

No, I am using f-body backing plats in the back. I had a friend plasma cut me a set of brackets for the front. Tobin really seems to be knowledgeable.

Let me know how the backing plates work out. I didn't know it was all you needed to resolve the bolt in axle issue. Thanks for the response.

Here's a write up a guy with a chevelle did. I don't expect any problems with this, many people have done it.
