I have an article from Chevy High Perf. magazine that shows a disk brake swap using a Master Power Brake kit. I had a kit that was listed on Ebay in my sights, but they sold it, and will not sell anymore at that price. IN PROTEST, I'm considering using the magazines other advice, which was using used/new parts from an auto part store for 69-72 A-bodies. Has anyone done this with good results? Are all the A-bodies spindles, etc.. interchangeable for these years? It lists all the part #'s, except for the spindles and dust shields, which I believe I could find easily.Any help would be appreciated!

Why not call ECI they offers a similar kit. I still like the Baer kit that I bought.

Yes, the A-Body parts will work. I did the conversion on mine with used parts from a 71 Buick A-Body. Went to the local pick-a-part and took everything from the donor vehicle, from spindles to proportion valve to booster and master cylinder. Bought new pads and rotors, rebuilt the calipers, installed it all and have been running no problem for several years now. I think the total cost doing it this way was less than $200 in parts. It depends on what you you can find and what you're willing to spend.
