: Drum to Disc Swap

Hello all, and I apologize for this dumb question in advance. I have a 72 Chevelle with drums and I am wondering what other make/model would swap out for disc brakes. There are many cheap junk yards around my area. From what I have been reading here it seems a 72 Monte front spindle/rotor would swap over? What about the rear? Would I have to swap out the whole axle to get disc's in the rear? If so what make/model/yr? Or is there no such thing as a ez swap?

thx for you time and consideration......any replies would help.

I suggest that you take a look at the top of this forum and find the special section on Disk Brake Conversions. Your question is a popular one, so there is a forum and a sticky with lots of useful information. If that fails, come right on back to this forum.
