Disc brakes conversion checklist...

I'm setting up to do a disc brake conversion on my 1996 F350 Dually. After a lot of searching I'm not 100% sure I have it correct as most of the info I find is years old and differs from thread to thread.

I have read to use 1985-1989 Cadillac Calipers. It never mentioned to use the front or rear caliper though. Any concrete advise on which is correct?

All part numbers are from RockAuto.

1985-1989 Cadillac Calipers (Front or rear used?)
*Front L Part# Raybestos FRC4261 $50.79
*Front R Part# Raybestos FRC4262 $50.79
*Rear Part# Raybestos FRC6042 $76.89 each

96 E350 Rotors (Dual real wheels): $25 each
*Part# Raybestos 66834R
Caliper brackets - $60

Make custom brake like hoses from local hose and fitting company.

Anything I am missing?

Front calipers, for sure!
That rear rotor's far too thick for a rear car caliper.
