    Brake Swap Question

    I am looking to lose the drum brakes on the back of my 87, and want go to discs. I have found a 95 that I can just take the whole setup off of, but before I pay for it, will it work and how much modifying would I have to do?

    By whole setup, what do you mean exactly, the entire rear or just the brake bits? Swapping the whole rear is no big deal, mostly just need to plumb up the brake lines and there may be something with a different flange on the rear where it mates to the driveshaft. If you're talking swapping the brake parts over to your rear, thats a little more work but not so bad. Really the bulk of it is the brake lines and the e-brake cables.
