I looked on autozone's website.  They don't list disc brake caliper kits for the 68, but they do for the 70.  Maybe they are the same part

Brake calipers are different from 1966-1969 compared to the 1970 version.  In 1966-1969 they used a Bendix 4 piston caliper.  In 1970, they changed over to a single large style caliper piston.
