Can I take brake parts off of an 80's Gran Fury?  I have one that we are just going to scrap because it is not worth fixing.  From what I understand I should be able to use all parts but the spindle, right?

I read the tech pages.  First it states 73-76 A body spindles... and then for the other parts it just states 73-up... Just double checking... So I should be able to use the disk brake parts.

And how difficult will it be to fine upper control arms?  Can I just buy a set of tubulur UCA?

Tubular are easy to find, but are a little pricey, but by the time you buy used control arms, bushings and ball joints the tubulars don't seem as bad.

I am going to be selling my pair of upper control arms. They have brand new ball joints and poly bushings. I assembled the car so far and now I am going over to coil-overs with tubular A-Arms. Let me know if you are interested. The upper A-Arms are large ball joint type.
