Does anyone know whether the G body disk brake spindles will bolt up to the
A-body suspension without changing control arms, etc.? I know the F body
spindles require a shorter upper control arm since the brake spindles are
taller than those on the A. But a friend of mine thinks the G's might be the
same height and therefore not require different control arms. I am looking
for parts to upgrade my 69 cutlass from drum to disk up front. Thanks in
advance.

Im not to sure of the body "letters" but my dad recently upgraded the
brakes on his 57 Pontiac, IIRC the spindles are off of a mid 70's or
early 80's camaro / trans am. the calipers are from a mid to late 80's
grand prix or bonneville mounted on custom brackets. the rotors are
also the same as the spindles. He also had a brake booster added at
the same time.

So yes it can be done but some parts may need to be made in a shop to
get it all to fit.
