Disc brakes were standard on 1970 340 Dusters, but became optional in later years



Is thats the ONLY model of all the 68-73 340 cars, A,B, or E Body included, that came standard with disk brakes??

For some reason I think it might be, but not for sure.



Std on a 70 Swinger 340.



So, all 1970 340 A-bodies. Is that the only year?

Strange they did that but choose to make the 3-speed manual transmission standard to keep the advertised price down. And then the next year, went back to drums std and 3spd manual.

Wonder if it was done to soften the blow of not having a high trimed 340 A-body in 1970. The 69 Formula S and GTS were based on high trimmed cars. The 1970 Swinger 340 and Valiant Duster 340 were lower trimmed cars.

The new 1970 E-bodies filled the gap between an A-body and B-body sporty two doors.
