I'm swapping my D80 with drums for one from an 02 with disc brakes. I have the parking brake cables and all but what else do I need to make it work.
 
PM Shainer, I'm pretty sure he did it, then went back. He'll probably chime in.
 
Parking brake cables are about it other than the flexible lines. The axle is the same, just different brakes.
 
I got the cables. They came with the axle. I thought I read somewhere that you need the cable bracket for the newer truck or something
 
If someone has an 01-02 that could snap a pic of the bracket where the parking brake cable from the axle join up with the cable from the pedal Id appreciate it. Im just trying to see what the difference is there.
 
The disc cable uses two different sized holding grommets vs. the same sized units on the drum. Looks like a big washer welded in place will work.
