the cost for rear conversions depend on what you can fabricate and what you need to buy.
For me when I need new drums then it'll be the turning point that i'll do a rear disc conversion. I'm figuring about 300 when all is said and done, right now I'm collecting random parts from here & there. If you happen to get lucky '96 vans had disc brakes as an option and it's a complete bolt in deal.

Dave you're right all 99+ F-series super duty (f250 &f350) trucks got disc brakes. they also got a 10.5" rear instead of the 10.25" that we have.

you dont take the hubs off. all you do is slide the drums off the hubs and do the brake job.
