I have not, but am also looking for the disc brake conversion. Ive looked at their kits, which include 11" rotors - and am also considering the scarebird conversion kit - available on ebay -which they use a CNC bracket to bolt 94-99 dodge ram calipers to 11.75" rotors, using your b bodies existing drum spindle. I was thinking this may be a way to go, for the larger rotor and newer (and assuming) more available calipers. I too would appreciate any comment from Mopar owners whom have already tried one of these swaps.

I'm going to get this from them in the fall for my next project. Mopar B & E Body Spindles with Caliper Brackets. Backing plates are cheap Advance sells the roters complete with hub and studs for under 30 bucks loaded calipers for 15 bucks each and a disk rebuilt master cylinder for around 25 bucks. I've used this stuff on five cars no problems. Older than 68 you will need a perportioning valve and new lines.

Dont waist your money!! go to the junk yard all in all you might spend 75 for the spindels and then buy new rotors and new calipers for 100.

Maybe the junkyards in Tejas still have such things, but here in the Northeast they're about as common as dodo bird eggs.

Just went to the local self serve dismantler and found no less than 12 old Mopars (Cordoba, 5th Ave, New Yorker, Diplomat and Volare) that cross reference out as being the same setup that should (according to Gary GTX67) fit our b-bodies. I even found one car that had recent new calipers and rotors. Going back to get them later this week. Just need info on the brake booster/master & proportioning valve if anyone knows?

BTW, these are the spindle interchange listings for the 5th Ave that Gary gtx67 mentioned fit his 67. My local auto wrecker gave me the info. If the 5th ave fit, so should these:
Aspen 76-80
Caravelle 82-86 rwd
Charger 73-78
Cordoba 75-83
5th Ave 79-89
Diplomat 77-89
Coronet 73-76
Monaco exc Royale 77
Gran Fury 80-89
Imperial 81-83
LeBaron 77-81
Magnum 78-79
Mirada 80-83
NY'er RWD 79-89
Newport 79-81
Satellite & Roadrunner 73-74
Fury exc Gran 75-77
RoadRunner 75
St.Regis 79-81
Volare 76-80

Cheers!
