12 bolt
Im looking to buy a new 12 bolt or 9 inch but had few questions hopefully someone can answer.
The strange only accept 97-02 brakes and want to no if i can just by the calipers and all from pepboys or something and slam em on my 84.
Also the rear is a inch wider and wanted to no will my rims and tires still fit or will they stick out and hit the wheel wells. They 15x8 with 4 inch backspace
Any info on the swap will be helpful in all ways

You can buy the rotors/pad/calipers from a parts store, but you'll be missing the backing plates and parking brake drum. I bought mine from this guy, and everything worked out well:

Offer him around $150, that's what I did. You'll still need to come up with your own parking brake cable solution. Here's what I was able to do with the LS style cables and our stock cables.:

The extra inch won't make much difference and you probably won't notice.

Re: 12 bolt
It's not an e-brake, it's a parking brake and it should be used every time you park regardless of your transmission.
