disc brake components
A person can find pictures of the rear disc brake assembly for a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan can be found in a Chilton's automobile repair manual. A manual like this can be found in most libraries and at automobile parts stores.
The rotor is the disc in the disc brake system.
It's pretty straightforward. You will need to change the spindles, brake lines, brake hoses and master cylinder. You will also need to install a proportioning valve from a disc brake car, preferably another Chevelle. Stick with stock calipers and rotors if you intend on using stock wheels because many of the aftermarket disc brake setups have larger rotors and calipers that will NOT work with stock wheels.
There are no calipers used with brake drums. Brake drums work with curved brake pads pressing against the inside circular surface of the drum when the brakes are applied. These pads are held in place and pushed by a spring and lever assembly that is mounted to a steel plate attached to the wheel or axle of the car. This plate does not move. Calipers are used with disc brakes to hold the brake pads on both sides of the disc brake and to apply them against the disc when the brakes are applied.

In case of cost..drum brake is better than disc brake.
All hydraulic brake systems operate on the same basic principle. When the operator moves a brake pedal or other brake operating control, the movement is transmitted to a master cylinder or to a power brake control valve from which fluid pressure is delivered through connecting lines to a brake assembly connected to a wheel or shaft whose movement is to be braked. The fluid pressure acting on the brake assembly pushes brake linings Into contact with surfaces of a rotating disc. The resulting friction slows--and finally stops--the continued rotation of the wheel or shaft to which the disc is connected. When the brake pedal or brake control is returned to the off position, brake operating pressure is relieved, the brake lining loses contact with the disc, and the wheel or shaft is free to turn again.
Try this. Look for a blue disc at the brake pedal assembly that may have broken and fallen out. It's called a bumper and costs $3.20 at the dealer. Just happened to me.
