welcome to the site, there are lots of threads on rear disk brake conversions...

well the brackets off the isuzu will fit right on the stock axle housing flange so what mounting brackets do you mean like for the caliper itself because it looks like the only thing that will prove to need some fabrication is the e brake i hope.  thanks for all th in put
