get 2 calipers from a 65 or 66 car, get caliper mounts, get rotors, get dust shields, get bolts, and new seals, bearings, dust cap.

and wala, you have yourself a kit. all for about $300.

if you go with a factory 65-66 setup then you can use the stock v8 drum spindles

You don't need new spindles.... I would do at least front disc brakes. check out discbrakeswap.com. I'm very happy with my '65 since installation.

So the kit from the disc brake swap site is all the hardware I would need? No extra brake lines or anything?

disc break swap is everything you need.... Nothing extra but brake fluid.... Good half day or so project.. I rebuilt my rear drum brakes at the same time...

idr that was a previous job? the board is as you can see a grabber. grabber is actually located here on the outside of town. im not working anywhere due to a motorcycle accident last year. so right now my car is at a standstill
