anyone have then link that shows a parts list and maybe a step by step on what car i can use the rear disk off?
i heard some f-bodies work.
 
I used them off a 2000 F body. I've done one and can tell you that you will need the hard lines off the axle, the parking brake cable attachment bracket (both, and they gets cut up for some parts), hoses, calipers, backing plates, parking brake shoes, and all the clips that attach the brake lines. You also need some welding skills or access to someone that can weld as well as a good tubing flair tool and bender. Here's a pic of all the parts together and one of things I had to do to clear the calipers. The rear shock mount had to be moved inward so I made a bracket out of angle iron and welded it to the original location. You can also see where I welded the line to hose bracket on the axle. Make sure to save the old bracket that activates the parking brake in the drums, because you will need to cut it and the F body lever to make one that will work with the stock brake cable.
