This is awesome. I don't have a donor car but I will find one now. Thanks guys
The spindles and brakes are perfect. the power booster might not work on your car depending on if it is a single diaphram booster, and if you have column shift. Post a picture of it when it arrives, and plan on going to church Sunday for getting such a good deal.I found a guy who removed his 73 Newport front brakes, booster, master cylinder, and spindles to put some kind of drag suspension on it. He's selling me everything for $150 plus shipping.
It's a console shift but i planned on using new rotors, calipers, and booster anyway since they're available at the parts house. I've gotta find the brake pedal part now. I'm set up on manual drum/drumThe spindles and brakes are perfect. the power booster might not work on your car depending on if it is a single diaphram booster, and if you have column shift.

Being a console car you should be able to use the single diaphragm booster from the 1973. I do believe you can use your original brake pedal. I would try to install it when the new parts arrive, if the pedal stays at the correct height you will be golden.It's a console shift but i planned on using new rotors, calipers, and booster anyway since they're available at the parts house.

I have no intention of staying manual. I like to stop almost as much as I like to go. LolI would not reccomend using a manual brake pedal - the leverage ratio is quite different.
Yes to the 73 booster for a floor shift car if it proves difficult to source a 65 disc booster - and yes they're becoming difficult to find.
The 73 booster mar require minor modification to the rear booster support plate.
I think I found the whole set up for a 67(booster and master cylinder) but if not I'll break out the tape measureI have no intention of staying manual. I like to stop almost as much as I like to go. Lol
Ok. I gotcha. I'm gonna start looking for a pedal set up after I show my wife the receipts for what I've bought.If it's a 67 C body disc booster and master then you're good.
I agree - power disc brakes is the way to go. Just clarify what I meant previously was: I don't suggest using a manual pedal on a power brake booster system. Source a 65 - 68 power brake assembly - that should be easy to find.
Thanks. That's what I needed to know.I am not sure. I think it's unlikely. The 69 and up pedal assembly is quite different looking and likely got different mounting points etc due to the different dash and firewall....
