I had a difficult time deciphering the above, so I'll guess. If the rear is an 82-88, it'll have 10.5" rotors and iron Delco-Moraine calipers. Buy parking brake cables for your 88. Buy an 84-88 disc combination valve (make sure that it'll alum and not cast iron). If the rear is 89+, it'll have 11.7" rotors and alum PBR calipers. Buy the first-design parking brake cables (1434 mm). Buy the first-design 1LE combination valve.

Re: drum to rear... but different probs inside

ok. they have the 10.5 rotors.. do you happen to know a part number on the valve? and what about the brake lines?

No part number offhand. I'd hit one of the pick and pulls in the area and yank one off a rear disc car (84-88) or advertise in our classifieds and/or CL. Several after market companies fab brakes lines:
