"    I would keep my eyes on Craig's list for a '94 to '98 Grand Cherokee 
" being parted for the rear disc setup.

these are a bolt-in swap for cherokees, but would need a little more
work for an amc.  since '90/1, jeep axles - amc derivative d35
included - have a new housing end pattern.

you must have an amc15 rear?  starting in the late '70s many small
amcs had the same 10x1.75" brakes as v8 cars, most commonly concord
wagons and spirit amxes.  the complete setup should bolt on to your
axle - and the drums were used '73-'89, so parts are easy to find.

" i would love to

if you have an amc20 axle, the housing ends are the same as the ford
'small bearing' used on some 9" and iirc all 8" rears.  ready made
caliper brackets must be out there...  ssbc, tsm.com - iirc someone in
the amc crowd even has a kit.
