The guy I bought my 69 from also has a 69 'Cuda 340 Type S he's in the process of reassembling.....with a new Hotchkis front end.

This 'Cuda came with factory power disc brakes, will they bolt up on my 69?

EARLY A-body disc brakes are considered junk By most as the rotors are Two piece, made by Kelsey Hayes. I would go for the 1973-76 A-body 11" disc brakes If I were you.

Plus the pre-'73 A-body upper u-joint is smaller and the spindle has a smaller top hole than the B-body so it won't fit anyway.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

So, based on that Cooter, I'm assuming 14'' stock rim can still bolt up with no fouling. Just asking as I'm considering the same thing and like running w/w's and full caps every now and then. Cheers
