F body disc brakes like Ollie used will work on your 60 using your upper & lower control arms, just replace the spindles and don't forget the distribution valve from the donor if you ever want to convert to dual master. BTW you can keep your bellows type power brakes if you like when converting your master. OR, get a 73 C body K frame and exchange yours. You will have to do bumper mount mods to make it work, its a big job but you get a quick brake and suspension upgrade including the master cylinder. Any C body 73 down will work but the 73 is the best system. Also get the 8 3/4 and exchange it with your 60 differential giving you a superior drum setup and one piece axles. Its all how big of a project you want to get involved in and how long you want to keep it!

Subject: disc brake update
Got the correct caliper installed on 1941 Ply Street Rod (front clip is 65 Valiant) and my brakes are working great now. Thanks to all who chimed in on the issue.
All I can think off, as all the parts were purchased at the same time, is the left front caliper was not the correct one and boxed improperly. I actually ended up with a 78 Volare right front caliper and a 80 Volare left front caliper. The left front was not bleeding the air off properly.
No one to blame but myself, I just didn’t see it. The joys of our cars.....
moral of the story, 78 Volare front disc brakes will fit on a 65 Valiant, if you have all the correct parts
