Question
I'm trying upgrade from drum brakes to disc on a 1966 impala. Can you tell me what other the cars that I can swap disc brakes from?  

Thank You, Torrance

Answer
Torrance ;
Hea - I would say that most any full size  GM type car   that is within a few years should work , I would try to stay with chevy but - 65, 66, 67,68, 69 , and buick - pont. will also work. but if you use other than chevy you must know what it is from ,so when you buy parts they will fit it. and make shure the bearings and splines are good ,etc. If you can get the whole brake / wheel assembly for each one that would be the best way.
