If the car is a late build 72 it might have the 73 style spindles that take the 1 piece unicast rotors which are more desirable for C-body disc brake swaps. Even if it has the 2 piece rotors they are still good to put discs on a drum C-body. Trans will be good too. Not sure when they went to the 9.25 rear but if it has an 8.75 it will likely be a 2.76 but could be a SG so check it to be sure. Kevin
