I am currently installing Baer rear discs on my truck. This page will be more complete once the install is finished, but right now it's just a clearinghouse for images. Article on the install coming soon!
A view of the rear end installed in the truck, with the discs on. This view is from the front of the truck, looking back. You can see the brake line routing.

A view of the discs installed on the truck, with the wheel off. It looks close, but there is room for the emergency brake cable to clear the shock, once I get one installed. On the PBR caliper, emergency brake function does not appear to adjust the caliper like it does on other designes (W-body calipers, etc.) since the emergency brake is not at all connected to the hydraulics.
Here is a side-view picture of an assembled side. I still have to install the brake hoses, and align the calipers with the rotors using shims. Notice that the calipers are installed on the leading side (front) of the axle. After the rear end was installed in the truck, the calipers had to be reintsalled in the rear (8 O'Clock) position to clear the sway bar.
Here is a front-view picture of an assembled side.
The parts in the kit include 2 12" rotors, 2 PBR single-piston aluminum calipers (1993-1997 F-body or 1988-1996 Corvette) with pads, two brackets, stainless steel brake hoses, and various bolts and attachments. No e-brake cables, but I'll figure that out later.
A picture of the kit. Only one rotor is shown, the other is still in the box.
A picture of the brackets they originally sent. These are for a 1964-1972 A-body 10 or 12 bolt. These won't fit my truck. They're sending brackets for a '78-'87 G-body since these cars have the same rear end axle housing flange. They have not yet arrived.
