Expert Posts: 3780 Location: NorCal | Welcome to the board. Spindle swaps entail fitment problems, the sources Mike listed fit the original spindles. https://scarebird.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=64&produc... | ||

Veteran Posts: 242 Location: 33844 | Cheap and easy disc brake conversion I created for my 61 Plymouth wagon when I got it 15 years ago. I used 66-72 C-body rotors and 72+ 1/2 ton dodge pickup calipers with home made 1/4 inch steel adapter plates bolted to the stock spindles. Cost less than $100 total. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9706 Location: So. Cal | Yep, F/M/J body spindles & brakes work if you want to go that route, but it's much easier & better IMO just to use a kit with your original spindles. The only benefit you get with the spindle replacement is it is easier to remember what rotor and what caliper you have on the car, but that's not a big deal. Just write it down and save it somewhere in the unlikely event that Scarebird goes out of business. | ||

Regular Posts: 78 | At the same time you are going from drums to discs (assuming only the front wheels) are you going to be replacing the original single reservoir master cylinder with a dual? | ||

Search is your friend man Tons of posts on this. I also went with Scarebird. Their brackets are very nice (a bit pricey) & they give you a list of all the parts to buy. It was very easy & well worth it. I just did my '61 Dart this past winter. | ||

Expert Posts: 3780 Location: NorCal | Gotta remember, factory disc parts are getting hard to find in some parts of the country (world) and you often have to beat the bushes to find them. The aftermarket stuff is a mouse click away and less work. | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 371 | Plymouth used the same upper n lower ball joints from like '57-'72. The lower ball joint n steering arm are the same from '62-'72. The upper ball joint is the same all the way from '57-89 in the Gran Fury. But yep the up to '72 are the Satalite, GTX, Road Runner flavors, hard to find just the spindles. I have been trying to get a set of spindles for less than $500.00 each just to check fitment on my '60 fury. The outer tie rod end is what makes me wonder. What makes this most likely a no go is because of the outer tie rod with that roll around bend in it. But still if the steering linkage would transfer from one the muscle cars maybe so. I simply do not know. I do know of one kit pieced together basically that uses front calipers from a chevy cosica. | ||
