Aspen / Volare spindles will also work. The ones on my 68 Dart are actually from an 85 5th Avenue Chrysler. I had to use 74 Duster big ball joint control arms though.

do those have the larger diameter rotors?
 
Either the "A" or "F,M,J" body spindles can be updated to use the larger diameter rotors by using the appropriate caliper bracket.
 
Disc brake install can lead to wheel and tire change. If you have good LBP 14 inch wheels, do all disc brakes fit in them? Just a thought.

15s, LBP. pretty sure they're a 5.5-6 inch wide rim
 
The answer to Redfish's question is no. The width (or even offset/backspacing) of the wheel is less important to "fitting" on a disk brake equipped car than the diameter. As rotor diameter increases the caliper moves out away from the spindle centerline. I've not put every kind/type of wheel on every kind/type of disk brakes and there are always exceptions. However I do know that if you run the 11.75 dia Mopar rotor you must run some kind of 15" dia wheel or larger. If you have the 10.87 (std "A" BBP rotor OD) you can use most 14" dia wheels but not necessarily all/any.
