Rear Disc E-Brake Question

[nvrenuf]

Sorry, I tried to search but did have much success.

Let's say I get some brackets to convert my crew cab's 14 bolt to rear disc. I want to keep my e-brake so I'm wanting to learn about the El Dorado calipers.

How do the trucks e-brake cables connect to the Caddy calipers? Special conversion cables?

Once this is all hooked up the e-brake will function as it originally did, right?

Do the calipers need periodic manual adjustment? Or do they magically self adjust?

Brackets and brake hoses are no big deal, I ran rear disc on my K10 for 15 years so I'm not new to the game but I've never had rear disc with an e-brake.

That's the question of the decade. Try these threads:

Looky here first

This one too

And here also

And yet another

Wasn't that easy? But, after reading all of it, you will still be frustrated at the lack of options. Trust me, I'm already in that boat.
