Post S-10 rear disc ?

How much trouble is it to put disc brakes on the rear of a '82 S-10 ?
I have an "283" for GO!
Now I need to make sure that I can STOP!!
NOTE!!! I would like to do so at a reasonable price!!!
Like swapping out... buying/replacing a late model rear "diff" with discs already on it or....?

Check out the tech section on S-series.org: <a href="http://www.s-series.org/htm/how2/reardiskswap.htm" target="_blank">http://www.s-series.org/htm/how2/reardiskswap.htm</a>

The article isn't very detailed, but gives you an idea of what has to be done.

F-body rear ends are a little wider (might be able to make this up with different offset rims), but some came with disks and positraction. Spring perches are prolly gonna need repositioning too.
