Disk Brake Identification

[Sport]

I have 2 sets of what I believe are C body disk brakes. One set I believe is from 68 and the other is from 73. I believe this because of the style of rotors they have. The attached pictures are of the early ones. Any help will.be greatly appreciated.

Those would appear to be '69-'73 single piston calipers from a C-body. '68 still used Budd dual piston calipers. If the rotors are 11", that is a c-body setup.

Thanks Dave! I sold the other set to a young man for his 65 Sport Fury. He is having issues finding balljoints. I have looked everywhere and all I find is a screw in balljoint similar to the uppers. They do use a one pieces ballpoint like the earlier ones, correct?

Ball joints are the same from '65-'73 with one important exception: '65-'68 cars with the Budd dual piston disc caliper system use a unique ball joint. Those are very hard to find as they have been out of production for over 30 years. I think Craig@mobileparts might still have some of the lower ball joints for the cars that used the Kelsey-Hayes single piston calipers. (He is a vendor on this site)
