Did you get the calipers ,brackets and brake lines with the rear? you will need different ebrake cables and I am not sure if the proportioning valve is the same from disc to drum.

I'd like to see what others have to say as well.
I'll be doing a drum-to-disc swap on a 9-bolt soon and I'm doing as research as I can.
