Swap from drum to disc rear, is it an easy deal??
what will need to be changed out in order to swap a 92 disc brake complete rear into my 88 IROC that had drum brakes on the rear??
I'm guessing master cylinder, e-brake cables, and maybe proportioning valve???

yeah u could swap the master cylinder and proportioning valve. some ppl havent and the brakes still work good. but i would convert everything over to be safe.
get brake lines from the 92 as well or just buy some line at the auto zone or similar market store. gotta fit the section from the calipers to the T block
first try your stock cable, it might work it might not
and if it dont, get the 92 e brake cable. i believe the first design as there is two designs.
and try some searches, there are some good info in alot of those threads
