Default disc brake swap

Will a disc brake setup from a 72 Mustang fit a 67? Also, will the rear end swap or is there a diff.?

About the rear end... the '67 mustang has a 59.25" wide rear end... the '72 has a 61.25" rear end. So it's about 2 inches wider (1" on each side)
If your wheels arent that wide, or have the right backspacing, it wouldn't be a problem, although the spring perches might be off by a little bit
Also are you switching gear diameters? (7.25-8-9) Because you might have to have your driveshaft shortened (or lengthened... if you're going from 7.25 to an 8)

Thanks for the help. Now I'm thinking about restoring and selling the 72, then I would have more money to put my other cars together. My mind twists way to fast!
