i had measured them at one point. the springs were centered the same, so in theory it would "bolt in" but you would have the wheel differences and teh driveshaft mount is different, plus you still have to modify the park brake cables. in my opinion its cheaper to either build a disc kit (about 300 in parts) or buy the disc conversion

You would happen to still have the email would you? If not I'll pm Tj. I have a cutting torch so that will do.

FYI, someone is making late 70's / early 80's Cadillac Eldarado calipers again. The Cadillac Eldarado had rear disk brakes with a mechanical parking brake. People started using them for every vehicle imaginable to convert the rears over to disk, and they quickly became hard to get. Now they are available again in the ~$80 range.
