FYI, if you look through their site a bit you can find out what callipers they're actually using. it appears to be 85 cadillac eldorado rears which are $81=$30core over on rock auto, so if you buy them from rock you'd save about 80 bucks off the parking brake equipped set they have for 300...

this may be done very cheap, from the looks of it, its basically the exact same setup i built for my 75, which i was able to do for the price of new pads, but i had all the rest of the parts laying around,
for calipers,(and pads) they are going to be a GM style, you can find on the front of just about any chevy truck, i used the chevy front brake hoses(perfect and cheap) the roters will probably be stock either from a dak,ram,or f150 (just need to find out what they used), then its just the matter of the brackets, which would probably be worth buying, as they are kind of a pita to build, if they sell them seperatly
