My plan is to swap in an E body (challenger/baracuda) rear axle and add 70's full size drums and backing plates. This will get rid of the non-self-adjusting brakes, and as I understand it, the axle housing is the right width and bolts right in, and my rear differential and axle will go right into the housing. We'll see......
