well, thats it in a nutshell -- 2000 s10, may be "xtreme", i was going to do the rear disk brakes yesterday, and they are not the stock calipers -- they absolutely are s10 front calipers, on the rear axle -- this is a 2wd, 2.2l, auto tranny, may be the xtreme package, only owned it for a year -- also, this 2wd has the 4wd/2wd buttons on the dash

i googled this all last night, came up with some drum to disk conversion kits, but nothing that uses chevy front calipers in the rear -- any one heard of this?

thanks,
roky

will do when i have the wheel back off to install the caliper pins this afternoon -- also, should mention that the emergency brake cable is hanging, unattached, so i assume there used to be rear drum brakes

yeah, it must be some conversion, but little shop's bracket doesn't look like mine -- mine look like the attached image, which is actually some guys z28 camaro -- also, you'd have to pull the axle shaft to install mine, as the cut out is circular

80% of what you post is painful to try to interpret into English.

yeah, i never would have done this conversion -- even now, with the new calipers on, which of course have the bushings that were gone on the old ones, the caliper mounting bracket is rubbing on the rotor
