Hi, I'm in the process of collecting parts and information for my 64 Ford Custom (fullsize) project.
What I've found out so far is that the spindle, rotor, caliper etc from; 74-78 Thunderbird, Cougar, Mercury, 77-78 LTD II, 74-76 Montego and Torino, and 74-78 Contentinal are all a bolt on. The rub is that most 14" wheels won't fit and some of the vehicles mentioned are 5 on 5 bolt circle (the Contentinals and some of the other full size Ford products in that era).
I've also been told that 75-78 Comet, Maverick, Grenada and Monarc set up will also work but the spindles need to be redrilled for the bigger ball joints tappers and it will result in about a 2" drop.
I haven't done much research into what I'll be using for a master cyl yet, but I figure that will be the easy part of the conversion.
Hope this helps.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
