Thanks for the info but I want to make sure I understand you correctly. Are you saying that the disc brake assembly on the rear ends of '01-'07 will fit onto my '77 full floater that I can then put under the'66. Or did you mean that it would be easy to take the whole rear end assembly off an '01 -'07 (brakes, rear axle etc.)and put it under the '66. I'm hoping you meant the former! But that would be too easy and no fun, right?

Thanks again for the info!
