I put on discs from a '70 Bonneville on my '68 Cat. The swap was pretty much straight forward. I have heard that Kanter will/has/might be making the rotors. Check with them about availability. Hate to send you there, they're total a$$holes; but they are the only ones with new rotors I think. Everything else is available parts wise. The ball joints are the same between the original drums set up and the '70 disc. Make sure you get the MC and the small tubing and the little valve thingy below the MC as well. I had new bearings pressed in the rotors just to make sure. Bearings/seals can be purchased from Ames, or the local AutoZoo. I was told to get the pedal assembly and push rod. After doing th eswap I don't think you have to go to this length. The rod lengths are the same, I don't know if the pedal assembly is that critical. If I was you, get them from the junker and try the swap without them first. If it doesn't work then swap the assembly, etc.
