i think it would be easier just to find a disc brake rear end from a junk car and get everything you need from there, then it should be easy. if you can find one from a 4th gen they are posi with discs and they stick out a bit so it will make your tires stick out in the back, i dont know if your into that but if you have stock rims it will make it look a bit better IMO...

Either search or perhaps look in the "brake board". Both would be far more productive than asking about it in the body & interior board. There have been a million threads about swapping to disks and you'll find all you ever wanted to know by searching.
