disc brake conversions



Hi Kevin,

Best of my knowledge, there is NO factory bolt-on that works without serious
modifications and loss of turning radius and inability to align properly.
Of course this is not to say that someone with the time and desire could not
maybe figure SOMETHING out... I recently found out that 71 Imperials had
a bolt-on conversion for 1960-1961 long wheelbase Chryslers, and almost by
accident !

The easiest / cheapest way to go THAT I KNOW OF would be to install 1962
spindles and steering arms ( from a 62 SWB Chrysler ) and then use a
conversion kit from AAJ or Stainless Steel Brake.

Of course, it can be argued that the 63-64 brakes are eminently superior to
the earlier center-plane units....and should be left alone... I have
switched a couple-three 62 Chrysler 300's over to 1963 brakes and the owners
have been completely satisfied.
