no, disc brakes are to big. it would take some grinding to get them to fit.

Talk to Parish, he was looking into doing this, but I think he ruled it wasn't possible. Not without grinding on your calipers.

They make slicks for 16" rims, it a few different sizes. What size are you looking for? 28"x11.50"-16 is common to run on these trucks.

The new 2005 silverados come with drum brakes....

I am not sure if they will fit or not, but it seems like it should work.

Mickey Thompson and Hoosier do. They have them in the DOT style slicks.
