Looks like a 73+ front disk parts, if an A-body. Search here for photos and tips. Make sure you get the 73+ ball joints. You also need hubs, and those will be a 5x4.5" bolt pattern, so 72- wheels won't fit.
 
This is from another thread.....

Yep, you can use any of the FMJ stuff too, including the spindles. They have slightly different geometry than the '73 up A body spindles, but not enough for most people to even notice. And the change in geometry actually improves the camber gain while cornering, so you can argue they're actually better than a body spindles. This is pretty nice, because a lot of wrecking yards still have FMJ clunkers in their yards, you can pull the spindles and brakes off of some of those models all the way up to '89.

You can also use the larger 11.75" FMJ rotors if you get the caliper brackets to go along with them, they use the same spindles, control arms, and even calipers as the regular '73 up 10.97" rotors do for an A-body. You do need to have 15" rims though, as 14" rims will hit the calipers.

Here's a list of all the Mopars that use the same 10.98" rotor. You can also pull spindles and calipers off of any of these cars. Some will have pin type calipers, but if you grab everything from the spindle out you'll get the right caliper brackets. Some of them also had the 11.75" rotors from '76 to '81.

Those are definitely pin type caliper brackets. '72 Charger would be a good starting point to look up parts.....
 
Thanks for the help. From what I remember this was supposed to be for b body brakes to go on my 65 cuda. Where in ok are you collector? I'm on grand lake.

70 -72 B and E body except T/A or AAR. Small bearing spindles with double the price for parts such as rotors and calipers. Sell them and look for 73-76 a-body.

I am in Stillwater. I was just up at Grove for a funeral of the pastor's wife that married us 30 years ago last Saturday. She was killed in a car wreck on December 14th and they were just now able to have the memorial services since her husband was badly injured also. My wife was raised in Grove.

Where on Grand Lake are you?
 
You drove right past my shop on your way into grove. We live south of Fairland. My shop is on 59 @hwy 125
 
Your spindles could either be 70-72 B & E Body, or 73-74 E Body, or 73-76 A body, which are the same thing, as the 73-74 E body.
You will have to measure the diameter, where the inner bearing goes.
70-72 spindles, smaller wheel bearing, 73-76 spindles, large wheel bearing.
Your gravel shields are the 73-76 design for the A & E body cars.
Your pin type caliper mounts appear to be 70-72 B Body, and 70-74 e body.
If you can read any casting numbers on the neck of the spindles, you can tell that way also.

They are 73-76 spindles, anything else they would be 70-72 spindles.
All that help you out any?
Had nothing else to do anyway, when i replied.

70-72 diameter 1.250 inner wheel bearing.
73-76 diameter 1.380 inner wheel bearing.
