possible to put drumbrakes on 9 bolt?

Is it possible to put drum brakes on a 9 bolt? I found one at the yard. It came with disc brakes but they were gone. will my 10 bolt's drum brakes swap over?

what do u mean gone? because even if they were there they wouldnt be worth more than the core deposit for the calipers. id nab the rear if the price was right and im sure the yard would toss u a pair of garbage calipers that you could use as cores.

Drum and disc rear ends have difference axle flanges. You can mod a drum flange to swap on discs, but not the other way around.
