I have a 66 Chevelle with front drum brakes. Does anyone know what other Chevy models I could pull the disc brakes from that what "fit" my 66? I can not afford a conversion system so I opt to shop my boneyard. Thank you.

69 to 72 GM A-Body, Look for Chevelles, Tempest, LeMans, Cutlass, Skylark, Grand Prix. Also 69 Camaro or 69 to 79 Nova's

My spindals and brakes minght be for sale. Yes they will. If you do get the setup from the 70, make sure to get all the parts, including metering block, prop valve, booster, master, and best of all, you get rid of those crummy 4 piston calipers graemlins/hurray.gif

To make a long story longer... just make sure that you get EVERYTHING from the 70.
