My brake setup is unfortunately working very well right now and I just learned to weld in order to make an axle tool to rebuild my rear axle seals and bearings. Sigh..... maybe mine will start leaking and I'll have a reason to convert to rear calipers  Could I buy the schematic off you or would you recommend I just measure and cut/drill myself or would you even want to make a set and I'll buy them from you sometime? Also, is there a good write-up on the 76 Blazer master cylinder conversion? I deleted my ABS at the same time, added a proportioning valve and residual valve while reusing all of the oem lines. I wouldn't mind making a diy how to for people who want to increase the size of their master and don't want to pay almost $300 for the land cruiser MC while deleting abs and getting rid of the ABS.
Cheers! Looking at your truck in person blew my mind. I need to invest in a good lift ASAP!

Thanks for the kind words, good to meet you as well. For the brake backing plates, you can take the template I had earlier in the thread and print it out at 34% scaling and it should line up, just double check the caliper bracket mounting bolts distance between each other. I searched through

's build thread for the measurements and then re-drew using tinkercad. I don't really want to sell them as A.

has a kit which is very high quality and I don't want to take away from all the dev work he did, also liability, etc... Also, I think
@

has a blazer master cyl upgrade with TBU so you might look through his build thread or maybe add to it. Never a bad idea to do a write up in any case though.
As for the lift, I can't recommend the Sonoran Steel kit enough. It was great to chat with the owner there and get all the stuff working together well.
