I know that the lincoln mc (the p-valve just bolts in place) has all the right fluid capacity and such and that is why i'm using it (got that, the rear end and p-valve for 100 bucks). Also as far as i can tell it should bolt in on my 82 flareside, as the flange on the mc is the correct size, but from there i haven't really compared the the lincoln mc and the mc from my 82 f-150, but after talking with my dad it sounds like its nothing that can't be modified to work. Hear's the p-valve, mc and caliper mounting brackets
I still got the wilwood valve cause of the weight difference between the lincoln and my flareside, as the lincoln probably weighs a good 800-1000lbs heavier than my 82. And a lot of that weight is over the rear axle, and thus more brake pressure can is applied to get the most benefit from the rear disc, and because there's less weight over the rear axle of my 82, the brake pressure needs to be reduced to ensure the rear wheels don't lock up.

mo- I have done that setup on two of my own trucks and one for a friend (all 9 inchers) and I never had that problem- I bet that you got the smaller "metric" brackets and calipers. I have also done the setup that mustange70 is currently doing-I used the calipers and mc from a 73 T-bird but used ford 4X4 front rotors, I didn't use a booster and it all worked OK for me on a 73 Bronco, other than my rotors were too thick for T-bird calipers so I ground off the back side of pad untill I just touched the rivets.

The calipers i'm using are identical (other than the parking brake) to the front calipers on my year of trucks (but my truck has a set of 94 i-beams cause i needed the adjustable camber/caster bushings), and the only difference between the rotors is the one i'm using (off a 93 4x4) are a little taller for the hub, and everything else is dentical, but i still have to get the axle flange turned down about 3/8".
