well, the winter season is almost here in upstate ny and i'm starting to set up my winter projects. i would really like to upgrade my brakes. i'm already planning an under floor dual master cylinder conversion but what i really want is to put more modern self adjusting drums on all four corners. does anyone know if i can do a frankenstein bolt on parts swap? no disc brake stuff, though. cars like this should be a little dangerous. just wondering if any 60 -70 dodge brake stuff will fit. thanks... its a coronet by the way...

something i really don't understand is the "dangerous" part anyway, my opinion is it's fun to go, but i really like to stop too ! and in todays traffic, it's more important than ever ! besides, the effort is the same, and there are lots of ways to put discs on. plus, you will stop better ! just my - it's your car.......

I hesitated to reply for the same reason.
I do know that you can upgrade the rear brakes.
However, you will still have the tapered axle ends. For the price of the backing plates out, you can usually find a later model axle. I'd suggest going that way.
For the front, you should be able to compare the hubs and/or bearings and see if something will work with the original spindles. For the amount of effort and time, I'd also suggest Discs. There are proven kits from members here.
