You will have no problems bolting up a thrid gen rearend to a third gen. All hook ups should be the exact same. I keep hearing different reports on the master cylinder on a disk and drum rear and personally (note I put personally on there others will say differently) that there really isn't a difference. I went from a drum to disk without changing the MC and so far so good, although I am putting on a proportioning valve.

I'm pretty sure the only difference is the combination valve as the rear brakes need more fluid when you go to disk brakes.
