Finishing up on engine install in a 75RR drag car. Found that the rear brake hose was bad from body to rear axle housing and noticed that the car has disc brakes on rear.All appears to be factory Mopar, but no one shows this car to be avalible with discs on rear??
Backing plates are bolted to axle flanges as are calipers, right side has caliper on rear of axle while left side is on front of axle. They are also complete with the small park brake shoes in the center drum part of the rotor.
What cars did these come from?
It's probably a 9.25 rear. Those are Mid 70's Imperial disc that will bolt onto the rear end type.

Looked up a 75 Imperial on AZ site and it does appear to match calipers, pads and hardware kits. Thanks! I havnt worked with Mopars much in years and have forgot what little I did know.
...
They don't make anything for it. Don't throw away those rear disk pads. I think they are different than the fronts. You might have to have them re-lined.
The rear calipers are like slider front calipers.

Yes they are diff on rear. Autozone website shows to have all brake parts in stock for it including, hoses, calipers, pads etc, and according to pics are the same as on car although the pads on the car are almost new.
