How hard would this be. I have a 2003 rcsb I'm going to be selling and a 2006 cc. WonderING if I can just swap rear ends and parts between trucks. Do you guys think it'll be worth it?

I converted from drums to wilwood's on my old 06 CCSB.

Its a 100% switchable bolt over job. Just will have to make new brake line on axle, and swap out all the ebrake cables also.

The drums are dpocumented to actually work better then Disc, unless at highspeeds or prolonged use.

But...have you seen the results!

Like Brandon said it's all bolt on just need new axle brake line and ebrake cable. I actually have all the brake components from a 03 truck that had disks, just haven't done the swap yet. Didn't know that the drums perform better until now. :okay:

To be honest guys I'm not really worried about performance. Both perform fine to me as I dont race the truck around nor do I ever tow anything. Pretty much this is straight cosmetics to me as I feel disc look better
