SSplaytoy Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Think it's a pretty straight forward swap. Just have to do the brake lines maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chpspecial Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 The parking brake pull cables will also be different as well as the axle brake lines... Drum axles have hard lines to the drums, Disc axles have rubber lines from the axle to the calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
