My biggest concern is that front end. Like I said, it's got those 13" narrow hubs like the ones on a Ford Escort, with 1" wide brake shoes....who needs "press-n-pray brakes". I was wondering if I couldn't just swap out the hubs/backing plate for the original size, or maybe go to a disc setup. Any thoughts on this???

OK, Streets, Tech, jump in anytime....
Say....Lakota, one cheap and easy way to lower the backend is bolt on some lowering blocks. You can drop it anywhere from 1 to 4 inchs. You can get a set of blocks and u-bolts for 25-30 bucks. And it's quick and easy. Hopes this helps.
