All,
Thanks to the great information on this forum and with the help from some members I completed the rear conversion to BBP on my 1967 Barracuda this weekend. It now has 11"x 2 drum brakes, Dr. Diff axles, and new 255/60/15 tires on 15 x 8 Summit Series 55 rims (Not a word about how they look just like Chebbie rims!, I will be moving to Magnum 500's as soon as money permits :). I would just like to see what everyone thinks. This coming weekend I will do the front with '76 disc's, spindles, rims and tires so I will update as I can. See pictures below. Thanks for the help Dad!

I just finished putting in the new master cylinder. One thing I noticed is a small hole that is not covered by the new master cylinder or gasket (see second picture). Anyone see this before? How did you fix/ cover it?

Updated pictures of the front end. Installation went well with the magnum racing tubular upper a-arms. It was a pain for the local Les Schwab to align but they got it and the car is totally different with the new tires, disc's, 11" x 2" drums in back! I will upload more pictures as soon as it stops raining. :)

Finally got some good weather he in Olympia. Here is the completed pic of the swap. Now the only thing left to figure out is rear springs and sway bar and why the front tires rub in reverse while turning but not while going forward!
