i thought you had to cut part of the axle or something.. its just the part right behind the all the rear drum assembly 'stuff'??

Yes. Only what I showed in the pictures.

I need to do this.

For $200, everyone needs to do this.

Only thing I really don't like is having larger rear discs. I need to find a way to swap to 13" fronts.

Are the stock brake lines able to be reused, or do they need to be made up? Rotors, calipers, yada yada is easy. Cutting the backing plate off is no problem too. Then just a matter of getting the mounting bracket from the guy off ebay correct?

seth made his. shouldnt be that hard, bolt up the rotor, stick the caliper on w/ a spacer and measure for a bracket.

ok well i did a rough estimate finding everything on ebay and it would roughly run about $230 shipped for everything.

*waiting on the question to be answered about the brake lines*

you can not(or should not) bolt hard lines into a caliper.

so what new lines are needed?
