Am I Crazy For This Idea?

Forget what the parts books show. The 9" front drum brakes were still put on some Slant six cars as late as 1976 year model! I owned a stripped down, rubber floor mat 76 Dart 2 door equipped this way. I think the only options it had was an automatic trans and an AM radio. No sway bar. No electric windshield washer pump. 19" radiator with NO overflow jug.
