Front and rear?

Just fronts, drums are fine for rear.

What size wheels are you running? Bigger wheels will open up other options.

Call Doctor Diff (Cass), he'll have a kit that fits.

If you wanna find the parts yourself read this

https://www.allpar.com/history/mopar/brakes/disc-main.html

Is made with stock Mopar parts from later models. You can choose to use bigger rotors if you have the wheels for it.

If you have time and junkyards around with old Mopars the bigger parts could be found just searching around. Maybe even you could get luck about finding the pins caliper setup for bigger rotors.

Most of the parts except knuckles and caliper brackets are available from regular parts shops as Rockauto. Getting the knuckles and caliper brackets from JYs could get you on $300 rate for this full conversion. Maybe less. But if you choose drilled and slotted rotors could be a bit more too.

BUT if you want just to get this same parts on the easy, several vendors sells this conversion already built, and the best source could be DoctorDiff, on $450-500. I think he just have the sliders kind calipers thought! Nothing wrong with it but just that pin kind is more a "free mantenience" setup ( is what my car got from factory )

I think you will need to consider also the MC and Brake Fluid dist block for discs to make it right. Using your existant one will work too but with diff braking rate than the wished one between rear and front. Will work for a while anyway.

Then after those you can get some other aftermarket conversion such as SSBC or WILWOOD. However, the advantage on the later stock parts is the availability everywhere anytime off the shelf.

You could try to find the correct 68 front disc brake setup too which it was optional original from factory. Is also available but a bit harder to find and maybe a bit expensive.

Thanks for info.. I'll look into the kit from Dr diff .. I'm not doing the install and need it to go smooth, although it may be cheaper part hunting can't do it.

Cass at Dr Diff's prices are on par with other kits of the same style, but his knowledge adds real value.

And agree, rear discs on these old things are more for show, for most.
