A buddy of mine just purchased a complete K member and front suspension from a 68' Charger for parts for us to use to rebuild the front end of his 68' Charger. This car is being done by a local custom shop that is doing a Helcat swap and suspension upgrade. It was a 440 R/T car and they swapped out the front suspension for a fancy tubular setup with rack and pinion. Anyway my friend bought the takeoff parts. He has a 318 car with drum brakes. We are doing a big block swap and the front end needs a rebuild as well. The plan was to blast an rebuild the suspension and then have the new big block sitting in the K member to so the engine swap along with the suspension at the same time. He had planned to leave the car drum brakes for now but this front end turned out to have disk brakes. It looks like the callipers are missing though. We have not measured the rotors yet but they look to be serviceable. I see callipers available at Rockauto. Will it be impossible to to find the little pieces like the brake lines? What manual master cylinder would we use? Looking at the pictures of these pieces they do look to be the factory 68' Bendix disk brakes. From these pictures do these pieces indeed look like Bendix stuff. What advice do you have to share? Thanks.
