  View original topic: Retrofitting brake system from a 74 bay to a 72 bay

I have a frozen (rusted that is) brake system (pedal does not move, no matter the amount of force :() on my 72 bay and I have an opportunity to get a complete (and functional) brake system from a 74, but I'd like to know if I'm spending my money wisely.

My understanding is that the booster and master cylinder are interchangeable between the years, but I was wondering what problems might occur if I put the entire system including calipers, discs, drums and wheel cylinders, backing plates on the 72?

TIA for your helpful comments.

The calipers will not fit.

Thanks for the info. Just for my edification, is it that the caliper won't fit the beam, so that regardless of the disc used, it does not fit?
