Please see Questions and Answers for some topics that frequently appear on this board. As you can see, this board loads rather slowly. If you are posting something for sale, please remember to include your location since someone who might otherwise be interested might not be able to use a part or a vehicle that is too far away. Posting your location when you're selling something that needs to be hauled will save everyone's time (and reduce the number of posts on this already too-slow message board). Thanks.

Tim,

Here's another site on the conversion.

Big improvement in stopping!

I got my 11" backing plates on Ebay, I think I searched Broncho brakes. I ended up with plates from a dana 44 off of a '72 Broncho. Bolted right on. If I remember right cost about $20 but shipping doubled it! Got new wheel cylinders at NAPA for about $15 ea.

Hope this helps you out.
