wow - paul, look at how pt writes VS. how you do. Do you not see how people can mistake your zeal for harsh criticism and arrogance? No one needs it and you'd do well with some humility, When I get a D1's console and install it in my classic, I'll post it for you.
PT - I've seen guys in our club as well as the LV club who have swapped diff's and axles - never having mentioned the abs being an issue - care to elaborate? I've considered getting a D1 parts truck for the same reason. thanks - e

You're the asshole that makes claims that people speak poorly of my you little dickhead. I rarely every call people the names I have called you here on this thread and there are many, many prople who know me well. So go fuck yourself you little twit. How's that for angry you little shithead!!!!
YOUR ADVICE IS WORTHLESS.
YOUR ADVICE IS WORTHLESS.
Oh, and learn a bit of humiity???
Like I'm going to take advice from someone saying something assinine like "you can steal the whole interior" and who then continue to defend that mindless claim.
You are a danger to anyone seeking advice on this board because you don't know shit and your recommendations are wrong.

One can swap diffs and axle housings without swapping the brake calipers.
Oh, BTW-you're showing your ignorance again with this question. Note, ignorance, not stupidity. Ignorance means one doesn't know something. Stupidity is the inability to learn-I believe you can be taught.
The RRC ABS uses dual circuit calipers on the front-not compatible with DI without plumbing mods.
The RRC uses an outboard pump to generate hydraulic-assist pressure, the DI uses engine vacuum.
The RRC has a stupidly complicated master cylinder/valve assembly whereas the DI uses a stupid-simple master cylinder and an outboard valve/modulator assembly.
If one wants a parts truck, they would be far better served by getting a parts truck similar to their primary truck. If you just want a yard full of dead and partially disassembled Rovers, there are few better ways to learn these crazy trucks we love than buying a pile of them and tearing them apart, however, I will not be held responsible for the ensuing relationship stress or divorce.
So, anyone know if a D1 rear bumper can be made to fit on a RRC without some crazy fabrication?
I would think that maybe it may need to be narrowed down a little with a grinder by the rear hatch, but it should bolt on with no problems?
I am thinking of attempting trying it for the sake of trying it.

Wow, I appreciate all of the feedback and have decided to hold off on buying the 95. I think with everyones responses I would be biting off way more than I could chew. Thank you all for your input it has been exrtremely helpful. 
hey pt - yeah, I thought that was the case. Somehow I misunderstood and thought there was some other problem. No one that swapped final drives swapped the brakes! I like rrc brakes (with power boosters) better than d1's and I've always wondered about putting a classics system on a d1. . .

I think that is a mistake. If the price is right on the donor truck, get it. Take the good bits, all the axles, engine, t-case, tranny, and sell the rest. Put it on a dolly and let the buyer roll it away.
Remember, to get rid of a gutted out hulk the price will have to be low. In my case I not only had to give it away, but I also had to deliver it to Salt Lake City from Vegas.

I think it all boils down to price. If you can get it for 500 bucks and can store it then I would say it is worth that for the LT230 swap alone!! Not only do you need the case but the passenger side mount, the front driveshaft and the output spud shaft from the tranny. Then you could part it out and make back your five hundred bones! Not to mention the axle upgrade. Haven't done that before but would imagine you just need to swap axle shafts and thirds?? Am I right? Good luck!!

It's definitly easier to swap just the internals of the front axle. You need the meatball, inner axles, cv's, and half shafts/stub axles? If you swap the complete axle assembly you have to find some parts to make the brakes work. This takes out the redundant part of the brakes so if one part fails, your screwed. My truck doesn't have ABS so I wasn't concerned with it and everything I did may not work when trying to keep this (ABS) working.
The rear is the same as the front, you need the same pieces to use the 24 spline. Axles, meatball and stub axles.
