78 volare front brake hoses(they have a metal bracket in the middle of the hose) & I'd cut half of it off & leave the part encircling the hose, you'll see when you get it. get a pair of the "original" hose to caliper ribbed washers from MP.(dont have the # handy). 76 A body & MAYBE all the F bodies have a 5/32" larger bore dia caliper than the 73-75 A bodies which puts more bias towards the front which is a good thing so ask for them. I'd use a 73-76 A body proportioning valve(a new one or possible take apart & clean a used one if that can be done?) or better yet an M body one which gives better proportioning(in this case)& if you are changing your rear brake line add an adj prop valve in the rear to fine tune your proportioning later if needed. Get an alum MC of the correct dia(probably 15/16" or 7/8" but Doctor Diff will have the final say on that) & use an alum adapter to better cover the firewall hole. I'd mount the calipers to the front(if no sway bar) and measure the fit of your intended wheels/tires/offset CAREFULLY before you purchase them and some better quality(than stock) pads.

Doctor Diff has some tapered bushings that will allow the use of the original '65 upper control arm.
