I have read a lot of threads here and there are many folks that recommend many different kits. I also see a number of listings that mention retrofitting some A or B body discs parts back to the 1962 and the 1965 B body Dodge.
What I have is two cars that will eventually be upgraded to disc brakes. First is a 62 Polara 500 and the other is a 65 Coronet 500
Next set of information for the mix is that I have on hand two possible donor cars. On the donor parts I see information saying some require the upper control arm to go with the spindle, some say it is a direct swap. Now for the major hardware like the control arms and spindles, rotors, claipers and what not I would like to use all possible hardware from the donors to the receiver cars. I really do not want to go tubular suspension in this modification if I do not have to.
Donor 1 is a 1979 Volare
Donor 2 is a 1973 Satellite Sebring
What swaps here are possible and what year donor is best suited match to what earlier car. I know many will recommend to just buy a kit..but for giggles let just say that the delivery trucks don't run to my town. So if anyone has done this swap on either car...I would truly like to benefit from your prior knowledge and leg work if possible...
If anyone here wishes to express their thoughts off forum on this subject please feel free to drop me a PM..
Thanks
