Default Drag brakes on stock 10 bolt?

I searched and couldn't find anything I needed. I need to know if any drag brakes will fit on the stock rear end? I know I will lose the parking brake, but what are the lightest ones I can get for the stock rear end. This car see very little street time, plus its the back so no biggie. I just wanna lose weight and not sweat grinding for drag wheels. Thanks.

Race brakes on a rear end that could bearly take stock hp hit off the line. Are you racing or is this for street use??

Oh, ok, makes more sense. I am sure they make a set up, check under S10 sites, the front should still be Fbody spec, but S10's use the same rear and are raced.

Get a set of drum brakes, then swapout aluminum drums on it. Drums do not drag allows the car to roll easier. Pretty light too.

I thought about going to drums, but decided nah, why downgrade?
I know a few companys that make them, but just wanted to make sure they will fit a stock rear end.
