so I want my duster to have discs up front, I found a set online for a 72 will they work for my 75 cause drum brakes SUCK! haha

that being said am I better off swapping to BBP rather than stay with SBP i know there are more wheel choices if I go that route. and I beleive that the short ford 9 I have is still ford BP, which is the same as mopar BBP if I have read correctly.... Let me know if I am off base, the help is humbling and helpful thank you.
 
fatman, '72 A-bodys had SBP (both drum & disc brakes) and you'll also be down-grading to small ball joint UCAs. Not many guys would go that route.

You'd be better off finding a 73+ A-body with discs for the swap. These parts will also be BBP.

I agree with - if you want to use stock 11.75" rotors (Cordoba) and `73 and up A-body knuckles, check out Mopar Action's article

This has the advantage of using easily sourced stock parts and 4 1/2" bolt circle. Also, AR Engineering makes a kit to mount Wilwood calipers on those knuckles. Hot setup.
