What did you do to your truck today!

I don't have the disk set up. When I rebuilt the drums, everything looked pretty good in there, so I just changed out the shoes. I can't seem to get a good adjust on the e-brake.
And, I'm running a pretty drilled disk up front. So, I thought (against the commonly held feeling about "not needing" disks back there on our trucks), that I'd do a disk swap and some sort
of an e-brake set-up actuated by the stock cable.... all at the same time.

While I can pull the rear end out, if necessary, and I can pull all the shock and other suspension parts, drive shaft, etc., I've never been inside the axel housing. So, I'd be really interested
in what you all think would be a good set up, the cost based on the parts and what I may have to sub out.

Thanks again for any help, tips, or direction on this part of the project. I figured I'd start pulling the parts together while RAT's in paint jail.



Not that it matters, but here's the front.
