i guess it's possible i mounted them on the wrong sides, i think they would bolt up either way - i had one mocked up opposite that. but with the way the e-brake cables come out of the back pointing toward the center of the truck, and how stiff they are, they would be pointing right at the leaf springs and it would be hard to route them otherwise.

i might be the exception on pre-73 trucks though, because my 72 blazer is a 4x4 truck being converted to 2wd, so i have the leaf spring rear suspension and the 5 bolt axles necessary for this brake swap.

i'll get more pictures this week if you want more detail, but my key point is that the 89-92 stuff will bolt up.
