so on my 57 i have the stock drum brakes in the rear i have already changed out the front to discs and would like to change out the rear to discs as well so my question is what car can i go and strip from the junk yard to get all of what i need to pull off the drums and put rear disks i don't want to buy a kit for 500 bucks i would rather save the money for the engine rebuild coming up soon.

Parts from a late crown vic or possibly a Ford Exploder will supposedly bolt right up.  Guys I know from the Fairlane board have used this setup for the last several years, and have nothing but good to say about it...supposedly a bolt in deal, use the brackets and backing plates, should bolt right to our `57 Ford housings.
