Were power disc brakes standard on any 71-74 BBodies?

[Dibbons]

Just a question. Thank you.

optional in 71

 

[mopar 3 B]

Standard on all models in 73

I was going to say I think on B bodies the were std in 73.

Not on A body cars, though.

 

[mopar 3 B]

Yes A bodies also

73-6 baseline A's with /6 had drums standard.

Was prepping new cars for a Chrysler dealership 73-74. Never saw a base line 6 with drums.

I've had a couple including this 75 Dart Sport. /6 with 3-spd on the floor and manual drum brakes

My 74 charger has front disc. Couldn't find anything o n the fender code to suggest that they weren't standard equipment.

According to the '73 Satellite brochure, disc brakes were standard, but power disc brakes were optional on all models.

In 73 disc became standard but manual disc were only available on A-bodies.
B-bodies all disc brakes were power and the same with e-bodies.

Did all 1973-74 B Body cars have 11" rotor/pin type set-ups?

The '74 Charger brochure lists standard equipment as manual disc brakes.

Very interesting. GG's 69-71 book says that power is required with disc on B,E and C bodies but his 72-4 book does not state that. So I dug through my fender tags and pictures and I did own a 74 Charger /6 3 on the tree with B43 which is manual disc.
So the disc requiring power is a 69-71 thing and was changed in 73?
Also looks like manual disc was only available on /6 cars and V8 cars got power?

That I don't know. All the 70-2 B/E that I've seen are the pin type.

 

[YY1]

My 73 and the other 73 and 74 cars I've had were 10.5" rotors and 14" wheels.

Looks like we've got another Mopar-ism- "optional, but required".

BTW, I am the king of "extenuating circumstances" in what ever I endeavor to do.

71 was a opinion in 72 at the very beginning of production the stripper model's had drums then at I believe about 2-3 months in disc was standard on all b body's
I'm no pro but I do know alot about 71-74 b body's they did some weird things though !
