1) A 8 3/4 rear and possibly leaf springs
2) A set of 8 3/4 shock plates and U bolts for new housing.
3) New Shocks
4) possibly new rubber brake hose to brake line
5) New Rear wheels and tires going from 5 x 4 SBP to 5 x 4.5 BBP
6) new drive shaft and new U-joints.
7) *** tools and Alot of patience installing

Did I miss anything?

You won't necessarily need new rear wheels, if your new 8 3/4 is SBP, nor will you need a new driveshaft if the one you have can be cut down and balanced. Hopefully another will chime in about whether or not you'll need to have the 8 3/4 narrowed or not and/or the spring perches relocated.................................... A second set of hands is always nice to have, too.
