The closest cheap solution is the Tbird from 77-79. Get the spindles on out. Remove 1/8" of material from the lower ball joint mount.(topside) You will still have more meat than the 67 spindles. You may also need to use tie rod ends for the tbird. I have these mounted on my 67 and am sorting out the master cylinder and booster setup now.

I apologize. I meant to say take the material off of the top side of the tie rod mount on the spindle.

You can also use 68,69,70,71,and72 big Ford(LTD,Galaxie etc)disc brakes and you don't have to modify anything.The spindles bolt right in,and you use the proportioning valve and master from the same car you get the brakes off. I've also heard that certain T Bird spindles of the same vintage work, but I'm not sure which year.I've got 68 disc brakes on my 67 and they work great, and replacement parts are still available[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
