Sweet. What kind of swap would that be like with my 3.55 rear?

I actually asked about that on this forum when I was a newbie. Even had a truck, slightly newer, that I could have yanked parts from...

Be pretty straight forward.. Might need to have a shop set it up for you if you arent comfortable with doing it... I would be selling everything you would need for it..

As I stated earlier, everything except the metal lines has been replaced in the past 2 years, rubber lines included.

Well check your disc brake pads. IDK if you have 4 wheel discs or not.

Dude, the pads are 1 year old and the shoes are 2 years old. And it's not a matter of stuff being worn out, it's a matter of something making the fluid disappear. I started noticing the smushy pedal after basically racing my truck around on some back roads by my friend's place. I was pushing the truck kinda hard, only thing I can think of is leaking wheel cylinders or just evaporated brake fluid. Because it is a light brown and the new stuff I put in was clear.

I had a master cylinder seal leak... bled the reservoir into the booster.

And as for pads, I got ~97k out of original fronts, and I'm still on original rears at 153k.
