Hello, I'm working on a 69 Dart and I have to get the correct lower ball joints. The front calipers look similar to a 73 and up setup but it has pins instead of sliders. I think they are Diplomat brakes? If so does anyone have an idea what knuckles would be used to put these on a Dart? Thanks in advance.

Could be FMJ body brakes or 70 74 B E body.
Or an aftermarket swap that used Ford calipers.
Pics will help.

I have 73 Charger brakes on my Savoy and they are pin type calipers. Gus

I believe all of the late rear wheel drive cars used the slider calipers. The pin type were early 70s B/E as I understand it. last to use both may have been '75- B bodies, I found my 11.75" set up on a '76 2 door Fury with pin type calipers. The '73- A body pin types had smaller pistons than the 2.75" E and B bodies.

I took pin type off a 77 B when I did my swap to big rotors.

Pre 73 did use a pin type, but that would be the 4" bolt pattern setup

Same for FMJ spindles. So you really need to examine part for part what you have. Look for the Mopar Action Disc-O-Tech brake swap article online.
