The reason all these brake companys make so much money is because we dont take the time to figure these thing out.
You can use the stock spindles off your 62.

Some part numbers for you
#5519 rotor ---use all related bearings and seals
C116 & C117 calipers
The brakes and rotors and calipers off anything like a 77 monte carlo,malibu,cutlass Impala will work on your spindles.
I paid $150 to have my brackets made --- I think that was too much. You should be able to do better.
There are several GM power brake booster& master cylinders that you can use.You can buy the brackets and rod extension from HotRodsUSA ---1-888-875moon, or -www.HotRodsUSA.com or you can buy the Gm booster,master cylinder,brackets and rod extension for $179.00
look on page 114 of the May issue of Super Chevy.For $110.00 You can purchase their basic bracket kit and hardware. The part numbers I gave you will not work with these brackets but if you just buy the bracket kit you can go to Advance or Autozone and get the rest or you might find good parts at some wrecking yards.You dont have to have power brakes but you do need a good dual master cylinder. Good Luck!
