64 Dart - 8 3/4" axle swap

hello everyone,
i'm in the middle of swapping an 8 3/4 rear into my 64 dart. so far everything seems to be going ok except for the usual rusted parts problems. i've got the old rear out and the new one under the car ready to bolt up tomorrow when i get two more u-bolts. i was more than surprised to find ALL the brake parts availabe at napa including new drums!!!

my question is this....for those of you who have done this swap to your early A, will the original e-brake cables fit into the 8 3/4 brakes??? the rear that i got had the ebrake cables included but they are totally different than the originals. my original cables are still good....

also i didn't realize i have to shorten the driveshaft. right now it has a stock driveshaft from a 70 coronet in it (which was perfect length for the later 904 tranny to 7.25 rear) eliminating the funky yolk at the front on the old shaft and it looks plenty beefy so i'm just gonna have it cut to size and run with it.

should be on the road next week if the holiday doesn't get in the way!!! can't wait, i drove it on the new wheels and tires for less than 24 hours before the rear broke.

wish me luck!
