Yes but not quite that thick.
You can also use a drum brake hub.
Be aware that if you use a multi-piston caliper you will need to make sure the spokes on your wheels do not hit the caliper. Oz had to arrange custom wheels for the hot rod.
If you're sticking with a sliding caliper the caliper clearance is far less critical.
We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.

Why not use ford explorer brakes, dual piston calipers, 5x4.5 rotors with the right register and a simple bracket to mount them on the drum spindle. Vhalla done. Or you can look at the crown vic rotors, same deal 12.02 diameter, 2.85 center hole, dual piston calipers, and a simple bracket. Vhalla! Done

just a repaint and a vinyl roof! And going through the drivetrain.
Anyway, I finally go some pics of the B-body wilwoods installed on C-body drum brakes They don't tell much I guess, the adpters between the caliber adapter and the spindle is two 3mm aluminum plates, so 6 mm together. Don't remeber wether I reversed the caliber attchment or not, but maybe someone with B-body assembly can tell? Anyway, the installation was pretty stright forward once I figured it out, the biggest task was making the "shims" with basic hand tools.

@73EStroker: I do know Cass as I already ordered some from him for my 65 Dodge Coronet  But I am sure I read somewhere that somebody asked him not long ago and at the moment he offers nothing for C-Bodies. Apart from that he really has great solutions for brakes!

Also had talked to Cass, but no C-body stuff.
Thanks regardless

I used to make a 13 inch kit for C-body cars. I stopped building the kit since it was really slow seller, but it shouldn't be too hard to duplicate if you want some good brakes.
What was the application/part number on those brake rotors?
