alright, just bolted up my D44 and got everything put together. Just got one problem, fuckers didn't give me drums w/the damn axle and nobody in town has em. Can only be ordered and I don't wanna spend 100 bux on drums. My old D35 has the smaller 10x1.75 shoes as compared to the D44 10x2.5, and I was wondering if it's possible to just swap the shoes around? I don't wanna invest in rear brakes until I'm doin my disk swap.
TIA

call wrecking yards, look on JU,call link in sig to see the price there, id say rear disc swap would be cheaper than finding drums ;)

I agree with Brad, now is a fine time to just do rear disk conversion. It is easy and cheap (ie: inexpensive). Do a search on rear disk swaps, I am sure you will find a ton O' info. Good Luck!
