I'd like to convert my 67 GTX to front disk brakes using original parts, not aftermarket. I'm familiar with doing this conversion on A-bodies but haven't done it on a B-body before. I'm hoping to find someone selling the complete assemblies but wasn't sure if I will need to find a set that includes upper and/or lower control arms or not. Will I need to change the upper and/or lower control arms for this conversion? There are some aftermarket kits that offer factory reproduction components as well as OEM components for a factory type install, or you can hunt for vintage OE parts, used, new, rebuilt, NOS... you need to decide early on if 67 period correct is your goal or larger factory updated components are desired? that way you can be pointed in the direction you seek Mike

What's wrong with the 70/74 E, and 71/72 B body stuff? Nothing, bolts right on, just that the calipers are 2 pin/single piston, the 70-2 E/B will use the 2 piece rotor, the 73-4 E use the unicast rotor, OP wants to stay with 67 OEM
