No, the flanges on the axle tubes are different. There are solutions available, though.

Re: drum to disk rear swap
You can swap to rear disc by using an adapter bracket kit on your drum housing. The brake lines and park brake cable ends are different though, so be sure to add a few bucks for those into the project cost
