Default Disc Brake Id

I bought a 66 Coup that has had the front end converted to disc brakes. The problem is that I do not know what year/model donated the parts.
I'm hoping some on here can help me. I've attach the only photo I have so far. It's an image of the caliper. It has thew Ford emblem and a number 6304 and passenger side has 6404 on it. I'm not familar with the brake conversion yet and I'd like to know what part would have changed. I need to rebuild most of the front suspension, all the bushings are shot.

Thanks,
Jason Carden

That is a Granada system (75-80 Granada/Maverick) with an incorrect caliper support key spring installed (the slightly bent spring thing that is sticking out between the caliper and caliper bracket). That spring is from an old F-series truck. The correct spring is included with a H5527 hardware kit.

You need tires, too.

Since he sells the kit, he ought to know his business.
Looks like that whole thing has been underwater. The brakes are rusty, and the tires have cracks in them.
