Slant Six Forum :: Original brakes?

If you are asking disc or drum fronts, my 72 has drums all around. But there were options for disc fronts.

Actually, since there were far more a-bodies and the 73 up disc brake spindles work on either an a- or e-body most e-body guys grab the later a-body disc parts for up front.

Did you try RockAuto?

Go here:

http://www.federalmogul.com/aftermarket ... ountry=USA

Then under Catalogs, Make Model lookup....

Get a part number(s) then enter that part number at rock auto under part(s) number lookup.

Sometimes you can find stuff at rockauto that way........... (they don't always have everything crossreferenced....)

in this book

it says 10 x 2 1/2 front brakes were avaible

that # might help you in your search. the parts did exist at one time. someone may be able to convert that # for you to something.

good luck

What kind of brakes should one expect to find on an original '72 Challenger?

Perhaps I misunderstood some things I've read. As I said, I was referring to Slanters - but I meant A-body Slanters. V_8 owners, especially with larger bodies, obviously want discs.

I seem to have left out a detail. What prompted this thread/question was finding 10" front drums on a '72 Challenger. As of now I can't even find anyone who sells replacement 10" front drums. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing the Challenger actually delivered with a 225 in it. Thanks

Nice place and lots of fun, but they didn't have any drums listed, only studs, nuts and shoes - and info about when t o throw the drums away away, etc. (And I tried on each side of 1972.) Thanks

in this book http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h56/t ... C00002.jpg it says 10 x 2 1/2 front brakes were avaible the part # BD60264 is listed for front drums. though they dont list diffrent #s for each side the same # is listed for a base 72 charger with 10 x 1/2 REMEMBER this is a 1989 parts book. but that # might help you in your search. the parts did exist at one time. someone may be able to convert that # for you to something. good luck
