      '68 Chevelle rear conversion components

      Quick question for the forum, as the information I've been digging up on this is either inconclusive, or just plain confusing.

      On my long list of things that I'd like to get done to my car, a rear disc conversion is pretty high up on the list. The car is still sporting rear drums, which are original to the car to the best of my knowledge.

      Brand and style preference notwithstanding, what small bits are actually necessary to do this? I understand the need for a proportioning valve, and possibly a new master cylinder, plus the rotors and calipers themselves. But as far as mounting everything up, what then? The most comprehensive answer I've seen says that I can reuse the axles that I have, but will need longer wheel studs, plus the spacer between the axle flange and caliper mount. Is that it?

      Bonus question: what size rear rotors would y'all recommend? I'll probably wind up with 14" front rotors, even if that is probably overkill for what I need.
