Default 76 lemans brakes on 68?

Looking at buying a 76 lemans for parts 400 motor and trans, will the diff and front brakes interchange with a 68. Bear in mind parts that you can get from an auto wrecker in the us you cant get at all in Australia. this might be a good option for me.

Here's a good source of information for your differential question, although it is not exhaustive it may help. http://www.oldsmobility.com/10bolt-tech.htm

As for brakes, I am not at home and can't look things up in my books, but here's an article that provides additional brake swap information to get you going down under.

No they won't. The 68's rear steer and the 76 is front.

Ball joints are different also.
