My old 66 Barracuda had them with the special larger reservoir single master cylinder and prop valve. The parts are out there. At some point in the future I will have a spare pair of spindles for sale, but I need to go through a set for my GTS to make sure what I have.

Originally a 6 cyl car drum car it now has a V-8 K frame with SBP rallye wheels and manual disc brakes/Kelsey Hayes disc setup. I like the setup even though you don't want to be tailgating anyone if you know what I mean. 1970 FE5 Duster 360/904/3.91's SOLD 1973 TB3 SpaceDuster 340/4spd/4.10's SOLD Moparless for now but when the opportunity is right I'll have another one.
