you have to make room for a larger caliper and the bolt alignment is totally different. I worked in a shop for 5 years and never once saw front calipers that would fit on the rear. you may be able to fab something up but i would be almost positive you will have clearance problems.

i have a 9 inch rear, no emergency brake on the car, and i know the rear brakes are adjusted by the e-brake, i have been told that this works on 88 model only, the pads for F/R are the same part....
what ya think?
