Machining the axles isn't too bad. The OD of the axle flange has to be turned down, and the OD of the nose cone (the part that would slide through the center of the drum on your factory rear brakes). It should only be in the $75 range tops at any competent machine shop.

If you don't necessarily want the 13" brakes, but want an upgrade, look into Captainfab here on the forum. He makes some nice conversion brackets for rear disc.
