79 El Camino Rear Disc brake conversion

Hi,
Does anyone know what if any GM vintage rear disc brakes will bolt on the 7.5" 10 bolt rear end in my 79 El Camino? The small drums and sorry wheel cylinder mounting on this have got to go.
Thanks

rear disc

mid 80s Camaro or Trans Am rear disc brakes are a bolt-on, the housing won't fit but the hardware seems to fit just fine. I put a set of those on a customer's 79 Malibu, oh yeah, also make sure you use the master cylinder and proportioning valve from the donor car.
