I'm ready to put my limited slip in and thought that since I would have the axles out I would go ahead and add rear discs. How difficult is this swap? I have heard stories about parking brake problems. Also, I know there are several companies that make the kits and a few folks sell them on Ebay. Does anyone have any suggestions on which route to take?

Thanks,
Kent

I'm interested in this too. The guy who had my 68 before me put in disc brakes in the front but didn't do the back.

My parking brake isn't setup either.

I installed the Stainless Steel Brake Company (SSBC) kit on the back of my '65. The kit was fairly well thought-out and the components appear to be of high quality. Installation was very simple - probably easier than assembling drum brakes. Parking brake hook-up took a little patience, but not a big deal. Hope that helps.
