Hi John

I own a 62 galaxy 500xl and i put 77 tbird front discs on mine. You must use 15 inch rims. Go to the JY and get the calipers,rotors prop valve ,spindles,off a 77-78 tbird or ltd.You can also get them from aftermarket guys theres tons off em making this conversion.I like Drop n stop in CA. Regards Mike

welcome galaxy

know a guy here in the pacific, went round to his place to get some hay for my horses, he had his garage door open and i asked him if i could look at it.Inside had all been eaten by rats,GOD, it made me want to cry, he didnt anything of it.A resto would be a huge job or ida bought it.

Need to get the master cylinder also , disc brakes require a larger reservoir.
