'67 Galaxie - disc brake spindles question

I know there are conversion kits available, but does anyone know if the disc brake spindles from any later model (early 70s?) Fords will bolt on to my '67 Galaxie? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Yes they will. I fitted a complete '71 disc brake front including spindles to my '63 Galaxie. Fitting to a '67 should be a straight fit.

Thanks for the info. That's my plan as well, just swap all the brake components including the booster, master cylinder, spindles, rotors and calipers. That way it won't cost an arm & a leg and it'll be all Ford parts.

I assume it was a '71  Galaxie you pilfered the parts from?

Yes, a '71 Galaxie. You can use anything from '70 to '72. Galaxies after that used a larger bolt pattern.
I believe the '69 and earlier used smaller bearings. '

That's great news, thanks! Now to find a local '70 to '72 Galaxie that's being parted out.
