Default Drum brake swap for rear bogarts

Just did the swap on my 2000 silverado. Had rear disk brakes and as most of you know the 15" bogats will not fit. So a buddy swapped me his rear drums off his 05 serria. Sense no one posts about the brake swap on here ill tell you that everything swapped over perfect didnt have to make anything. Swapped the backing plates, brake lines and e brake cables. thats it. Took a few hours to do and cant tell the difference. Oh his truck only difference is it stops alot better.

nope not until you grind the hell outta the calipers then they'll fit even then you need a set of s-10 calipers cause the banjo bolt is mounted on the opposite side from the 1500 calipers.

Rich bogart told me even the 16s might not clear disc brakes on our truck cause of the drop center in the wheels
