Minor progress today--started assembling the CaptainFab D52 rear disc brakes. QUALITY components. Putting them together was pretty straight-forward, so I'll save you guys the gory details.

Of note: I cut off the backing plate on the driver's side and found that it is not a whole lot easier than just pulling the axles--oh well, live and learn

Also found my massive wheel cylinder leak that had everything inside the drum soaked; the brake shoes literally fell apart when I pulled the drum...

Before, carnage, and tear-down pics:
