heres some info on that it might be cheaper than getting the original brakeparts.... http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billav...b_disc_brakes/ it certainly lighter .
from wat i heared chevy 3 quarter ton 4 wheeldrive front disks fit (that is if the dana 80 youre talking about is simulair to a 14 bolt )
the chevy brakecalipers will fit too if you dont mind missing the emergencybrake
if you want the emergencybrake there some sort of cadilac rearbrakecalipers that have them http://info.rockauto.com/Cardone/Detail.html?184138.jpg
the only thing you need next to that are slightly longer lugs (prolly the front ones from a 1 ton 4x4) and to fabricate is the plate to bolt the calipers to the flange of the backingplate or buy them http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/...d1546fccecd552
