8 3/4 disc brake mystery

[grjammer]

I just pulled my rear wheels for the first time, surprised to find Yukon axles. The disc conversion is a mystery to me. I need to put shoes on it and determine how to connect parking brake cable. I have attached some images and hopefully will get these identified. The parking brake connection is too long and wrong type.

Another shot of the caliper.

Car has bbp. I have never dealt with rear disc brakes on an 8 3/4, so could use some guidance on shoes and cables sourcing. These look like a simple conversion.


Thanks for any advice!

Who knows what kit they used. Try to find out. Looks to me like it may just need different cables. See if you can get some made

Those calipers look just like what I have on my car. Late 90’s Dakota or Grand Cherokee.

Because the caliper brackets are cast I would suspect an OEM type conversion.

Do you have drum type parking brakes inside the rotor?

That will help narrow it down

Also look for any numbers on the cast brakets

Thanks for replies. Cant find numbers yet, (Mothers day, wife, evil eye) lol. Drum type parking brake inside the rotor. I will have to look for whatever OEM install uses those type cable ends.

Looks to me the cables are standard Mopar park brake cables

The cable ends look OEM 60s 70s mopar

The cables are original to the 69. I need eyelet style cables to "hook" the lever on the rear disc parking brake levers. Looks like the Grand Cherokee used them.
Hopefully somebody else has done this mod and can provide part numbers. I guess last resort is find some eyelets and have them swaged to the OEM cables.

Just found a great thread on this swap in here that I missed on first pass. Has part numbers etc. Thanks for replies.

As stated, possibly Dakota or Cherokee.
