Swap the whole axle (if the ratios are the same) and swap over the proportioning block. If the ratios aren't the same, then see if the brakes themselves are swappable and swap the proportioning block.

Somewhere between being sane and insane!
The backing plates(with parking brakes attached),hard brake lines,rubber brake lines,rotors,calipers,and parking brake cables all must be switched out along with the prop valve and master cylinder.The hardest part is replacing the parking brake cables,what a pain in the rear.I almost wanted to swap to rear drums,still do for the better parking brake.
