Default Disc rear end

Ok I have a bunch of the posts but I am hoping someone can give me a cut and dry yes or no (and maybe a little direction).
I am putting a 2000 disk rear end in my 95 with drums. Do I need to change anything? Master cyl., proportioning valve?

Thanks,
Paul

BONUS!!! I picked up my new used rear axle the other day. Opened it up to change the lube and found out its a locker! Not a bad deal, 120,000 miles with a locker and all the brakes for $125! Hope to get the convertion done soon.

Ok so I went ahead with the swap with little to no help on here. Just so everyone thinking of doing this swap it is way easy! It is indeed a bolt in bleed the brakes and go situation. I used the original propotioning valve and master cyl. I have got a nice firm pedal and the truck stops great! Someone an the s-10 forum site said it is a 4 hour job, took me about 2-2 1/2 hours not including the run to get a used caliper since the bleeder was stuck in one of mine. Anyway I recommend the swap, super easy and way better brakes now.

Nice to hear you had an easy swap. Never did anything like that before myself. First time I saw this thread so don't be so hard on the members here for no replies. Thanks for posting up your success!

I have gotten lots of help from this site before, some real nice people on here. Just a little frustrated, was kinda nervous about the swap and just wanted to know if there were any suprises. You see I can't have my truck down for long.
I hope the post helps someone and if someone is thinking of doing this feel free to ask questions.
