rear axle swap with disc brakes??

Three master cylinders are used in BR models. The
differences between' them concern cylinder bore size
and fluid reservoir capacity.
• The master cylinder in 1500 models has a 28.6
mm (1.125 in.) bore.
• The master cylinder in 2500 and 3500 models
has a 31.8 mm (1.252 in.) bore.
Although the master cylinders used in 2500 and
3500 models have the same bore size, they have dif- .
ferent piston stroke lengths and fluid reservoir
capacities.
This is from the 96 FSM, not saying you will have problems but something you may wanna look at.
All 1500 models and early year production
2500/3500 are equipped with rear drum brake assemblies.
They are two-shoe, duo-servo units with an
automatic adjuster mechanism.
Drum brake assemblies used:
² 1500 models: 11 x 2.25 in.
² 2500/3500 models: 12 1/8 x3.5 in.

NOTE: Master cylinders and reservoirs must not be
interchanged. This will cause unsatisfactory operation
and improper brake balance
From the very next paragraph in the 96 FSM.
You would have to re-plumb every thing I would thing to accept the increase fluid pressure or you risk blowing out lines.
