Well, your gonna have to measure the inner diameter of the spindle to determine wether you have a 72 or 73 spindle. The 72 uses a smaller diameter inner bearing, and a 73 uses a larger inner bearing. The 73-76 A body spindles (brakes) are pretty much considered the ones to find and use, as they have the large bearing. If you do have a 73 E body spindle, (or 74) those are a good one, as they are the same as the A body. Confused yet? lol

Best factory brakes are the 11.75 rotors. The larger rotors fit any '73 or newer ABE knuckle so you already have what you need. Just buy the 11.75 caliper adapters from DoctorDiff if you don't have them then get the 11.75 rotors at a local parts store. That may be true, but a personal preference. But you neglect to tell the op that if you go that route you need 15 inch wheels to clear everything.

for the A body spindles, the 73-75 calipers have a 2.60" bore and the '76 ones at your parts house have a 2.75 bore so ask for that year, more front bias is almost always better. the outside dimentions/fitment are identical on those (3) years for that app, just a bigger bore/piston. EDIT (4) years

The smaller rotors on those A-body disc brakes stop a B-body just fine, and the stock 14" wheels fit on them if you,want to use them.
What wheels do you run on your GTX? 15" Cragars.
