Re: brake swap ???
There is more to it than just buying calipers and bolting them on.
The factory hub rotors have to be cut down, removing the rotor surface and creating a true hub.
Then the factory calipers ears on the spindle need to be cut off and 2 of the dust sheild holes need to be drilled and tapped
Then you need a bracket to bolt to the spindle that matches the dimensions needed to bolt on the new calipers
There are a few write ups.
The more common swaps are 98-02 f body and c5 and newer brakes.
There are plenty of other options too, but most you won't find in the wrecking yard.
