Can 73 Imperial Spindles Be Used For 68 Plymouth Fury Disc Brake Upgrade

[Ol'Blue]

Hoping to find help to an odd question: Can a set of 73 Chrysler Imperial spindles be used for Front Disc Brake Upgrade on 69-72 C-bodies (like a 68 Plymouth Fury).

I see some debate on if the 73 Imperial is a C-body.

Thanks!

Sure the Imperial is a C-Body. Nevertheless, the Imperial front axle is unique (it's a carry-over from the 1967-1968 models). So the spindles won't fit other 1969-1973 C-bodies.

I am not sure why you would want to. Brake rotors and calipers are unattainable.

Yes, 1969 Budd brake calipers cannot be found. Rotors are rare due to the 5×5 bolt circle. However, with special bearings, other rotors might fit -- I just doubt this was ever tried, as I don't see a reason to do so.

it's been a few years but I did use these rotors on my 67, I know people that have sourced other years from durabrake, worth a look.

From Durabrake:
We have the C-body Budd rotor, DuraBrake part # 86608.
