Use your original 65 Chevy spindle and get 70 Chevelle Stock GM rotors and bearings, grease seal ,stock castle nut --- washer/cotter pin and 70 Camaro Stock GM calipers left and right and stock GM pads will work --Stock GM camaro brake hoses proper length of course --you will have to get the correct lug bolts of course-you will have to get the caliper mounting brackets on line several companies have them--- gives you stock ride height not a lowered spindle--you want to do anything else thats on you like lightened stuff etc. ---My grandson did this on a 66 Impala so it should work on a 65-- not sure where he got the brackets from but will ask him--- ONLY 15 inch or larger wheels will work NO 14 inch wheel will fit----FED 387

Thanks for all the help texts and phone calls. With your help I have gotten the parts I need coming to keep another modern junior stocker alive.

A wise old geezer who does cars left a famous quote- "If you start with a big enough pile of parts, you can build anything."Now.How about a '69 or a 70 B body front brake set up. Didn't a lot of those have front disc brakes as an option? If so, it probably would be a bolt on since the '65 through 70 B body cars were pretty much the same. I seem to remember that those front rotors were pretty heavy.
