If you do the swap. You need a adjustable proportioning valve. Otherwise the rear brakes get touchy, and lock up a bit to easily.
Well, I’m not buying a kit. I purchased the rotors from Rock Auto and the bracket from Ruff-Stuff. I just need calipers and pads.
Didn’t really want to go with the parking brake calipers, but they seem like the only option if I want a parking brake. Pretty sure the later ElDorado calipers won’t work; probably need to find the 76-77 calipers.

No other options for parking brakes - bummer.
