I found a 76 Dodge Aspen with disc front brakes, I'm curious if they will direct bolt up into a 67 Dart. I need to do a disc conversion and this is all I can find in my area. Any help will be great!

:burnout:
 
Here is a list and no it isn't a direct bolt up because no matter what you need 73 - 76 A-body upper control arms with big ball joint or the bushings or some after market tubular uppers. Possible some other parts also.

You can get some sleeves for the small ball joints to use them with the later spindles, Dr. Diff sells them for $50 HERE. Otherwise you'll need the big ball joint uppers.

Don't know about a kit, but you can pull everything you need except the upper control arms off of any F/M or J body, so you should be able to get what you need at the local wrecking yard.

And I would think you can sell your Kelsey Hayes set up for a pretty penny!

EDIT:


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.

Thanx everyone for the help..... I'm gonna rip everything out of the Aspen so I'm not missing anything.

Leave the Aspen upper control arms if you have to pay for them.
 
Maybe. 1973+ was a strange year for front drum cars. There is info on here if you search. I forgot the correct answer, but it is something like "all drum cars still had SBP wheels (5 x 4" bolt circle)" and "73+ drum cars had a different spindle than 1972- drum cars". The later might mean that it used the 1973+ larger ball joint. If not, you can get a tapered shell the slide over the smaller ball joint stem to fit the larger hole in the spindle. FMJ cars used the same shaft size upper ball joints as 1973+ (thus spindles fit), but the rest of their UCA is apparently different. Of course, their LCA was much different since they had transverse torsion bars.
