Disc to drum swap

I have a 10 bolt with fresh drum brakes on it. I plan to buy a 10 bolt out of an 85 trans am with disc brakes. Can I swap my 10 bolt drum brakes onto the 10 bolt disc brakes?

Not really. The flange on the axle ends is different. The drum one has the place to hold the wheel cyl; you can cut that down and drill holes to put discs on a drum rear, but not the other way around.

I had a feeling it wouldn’t work. Thanks.
