If you can find one from a '94+ with disc brakes you shouldn't have a problem fitting it on your '00

Try this...

if i were you i'd cross reference where the brake line meets up on the rear end. i know on fox bodys you need to relocate the brake line if its a 7.5 originally.... otherwise its a direct bolt up.
