Any B body knuckle will fit your B body, any E body will fit, any FMJ knuckle will fit, any R body knuckle will fit, and any A body from 1973 or newer will fit. All bolt in without any changes. Any of those knuckles can fit on either side so you can hang the calipers to the front or to the rear.

Robbins master Joined: May 2004 Posts: 4,920 Joplin, MO USA	At a salvage yard back in 96. I got the spindles and rotors from a 74 duster with the sissor/brake booster bracket....oh and the upper control arms. The caliper brackets and calipers were gone. I look over at the car next to it which was an 80 diplomat and took the caliper bracket off and caliper over and put on the 74 Duster and it worked. Then I put it all on my 64 Valiant. Moparlee
