not worth the effort but if the 97 or older parts fit, take the knuckle with everthing attached to it and install, problem solved

you need the rear trailing arms and the e brake cables from the donor car any model up to and including '97 will work.

I have done the swap. Basically you will remove the whole rear end in one assembly. Its easy work but heavy lifting.
You can use the abs version of parts.

Jack up the car as high as possible. I used jack stands on top of cinder blocks.

Things to remove:
1. emergency brake cables, cut ABS sensor wires, remove brake lines.
2. upper control arms 4 14mm bolts
3. 8 bolt holding control arms onto the car
4. 4 big bolts holding on the sub frame.

To install:
jack up the sub frame with a friend and bolt on the sub frame. Re install everything and bleed the brakes. A 4040 proportion valve is needed to.
