Your “kit” is going to be a salvage yard 7700 package F150 with disk brakes.

F150s were all disk brakes, front and rear, after mid-year 2000, if memory serves correct.

Rear axle, brake hoses line up different, maybe parking brake cables...there’s a fellow on F150Forum by the name of akdoggie who’s done a disk to drum conversion. He’s going to give you the particulars on the swap.
