Re: caliper swap

If you currently have the iron rear calipers, I believe 89 had the aluminum PBR calipers. If thats the case, they will physically bolt on to your rear, but you'll need the axle flange brackets and caliper brackets along with them. They are a completely different setup so you need everything with them to get them to bolt on.
