I was the "buddy" in this post, housing ends were clocked 45 degrees and it bled fine... the calipers are just sitting "up" a little bit on my truck....

Took a few hours to do and cant tell the difference. Oh his truck only difference is it stops alot better.
just to make sure i read this right, u had stock 16 inch wheels over your factory disc brakes in the rear.. swapped them out with chevrolet stock drum brakes and bogart 15" wheels fit over the drums with out any custum fabrication?

What about piston size difference between the wheel cylinders and the calipers? Did you swap out the master cylinder or is it the same for both?
