Default Spindle Conversion Question

A local junkyard has recently acquired a 75 Ford Maverick. I've had them watching out for a granada or monarch and they claim their books show that the spindles from this maverick are the same as a 76-80 granada.

Is this true? They would be for my '67 coupe.

The Granada and Maverick have the same front brakes.

I assume you are talking about disc brake spindles. The fit is no problem. You will need 75 Maverick (same as Granada) outer tie rods and a disc/drum master cylinder.

Yep, they are for disc rotors. They chopped off the spindles from the control arms with a torch so I got the tie-rods and calipers which I will most likely replace. I have a brake booster/master cylinder/proportioning valve from a '77 Granada.

Thanks for the info guys!
