A whole bunch of them. Here are just a few from searching. Some are complete kits, if you call or email them they should sell you just the brackets. I believe there are also some folks on here that make them.

Thats their website. Thats correct, drum brakes have way more surface, but also they are self actuating. The only problem with drums is fade. When its done right, drilled drums are very powerfull. Otherwise, my brakes are dead stock except for the addtion of SS flex lines. When I want to stop, it stops now. Thats on 35s.
C.H.Topping is old school. The head Honcho is a brake Guru, the shop is an old brown-stone. He even drilled a drain in the drum at the joint between the hoop and the round plate. Said it helps evacuate mud and water. Just a little extra for OffRoad.
I know they can sell you a new/modified drum (or rotor), and cut shipping to just one way.
For my Burb, I bought new Bendix rotors and drums, and paid them for the drilling. They sell Bendix as well, I saved maybe $2-3 ea. Probably a wash if I factor mileage.
It was $45 ea., one or two years ago. I think if you buy the drums from them, the labor is $35.

I thank you for the link. I've also found another company that does rear disks during my search process. I'm still concidering it, but the drilled drums seem like the way to go.
