I'm already starting to come to grips with the situation. It's going to be easiest both in the short and the long run to just convert at least the rear to BBP. A couple new axles is going to be a lot less headache than dealing with the obsolete rear drum situation all the time. And the front will get the discs when it needs the fronts done. I already have some nice 15" BBP steelies, so I'm all set. No one else is going to care, and it's not worth the hassle to try to keep the brakes original.
Thanks again.
EDIT: Can I use my same backing plates? Just switch the axles, then get the newer 10x1-3/4" BBP drums and use the newer brake kit? It seems like it would be just that easy... of course when I started this thread, I thought the whole thing was as easy as just finding a brake hardware kit!
