I used the rear disc brakes off a 1985 eldrado cadallic. they were cheaper than the trans am disc brake. I made the bracket to mount the caliper to the rear end housing. easy setup, bolted a 1/4" c plate to the rear end mounted the rotor marked where i wanted the caliper. drilled the hole to mount it welded two nuts on the back of the bracket. i put 25,000 mile on it no problems.

I just bought a new Dana from Strange and they suggested Ford Explorer rear disk brakes on their rear.
Much cheaper than the Wilwood six piston I have on front of my 68 Dart.

Thanks for all the help guys.
I have never really worked with the Dana 60 rear ends.
I did find a local guy that claims he can set me up for $275 or I found a Wilwood Dealer that can get it done for about $390.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
