All is put back together. I still need to bleed the brakes. Sure hope that the brake line flares I made work.

so the whole idea was so the back tires stick out as far as the front ones?

The addition of disk brakes for the rear should be nice... if I didn't screw something up. In this case, I moved the stock 1985 truck front brakes to the rear axle. The new larger front brakes are from an early 90s V6 4Runner. The brake master cylinder and booster are also from the 4Runner. I installed proportioning valve for the rear brakes since the rear brakes are larger than ideal.
