It's not exactly that simple. I am assuming you are wanting to replace a set of drum brakes with a set of discs. There are a multitude of swap kits out there. From complete aftermarket to using parts for A body cars and so on. Probably the easiest and cheapest way is to use parts from an X-body car. This includes:

  • 1968-1974 Nova
  • 1973-1974 Omega
  • 1971-1974 Ventura II
  • 1973-1974 Apollo
  • And of course the F-body cars from 67-69
The 67/68 Camaro/Nova uses dual calipers. Go with the 69 and up. They are available just about everywhere. You'll find it almost impossible to find dual calipers and/or rebuild kits for them. This is the most direct swap available. No meshing of parts or fabbing anything.

If I remember correctly, the 70 and up F-body swap is 69 F-body spindles, 68 and equivalent A-body rotors, and 70-81 F-body calipers and pads. But I've heard the backing plates have to be modified to fit.
