I didnt think they made the small bolt pattern 4 piston calipers in 72 but I could be wrong.

If you do have this setup you will need new spindles, upper a-arms, and calipers, rotors and mounting brackets for the calipers.

Or have your current rotors redrilled for 4-1/2" bolt pattern.

I believe that you can slide the 66-69 B body rotors on there without changing a thing. That will give you the big bolt pattern. I haven't tried this myself but apparently it works. Of course, those rotors aren't that easy to find.

If your anywhere near Minnesota, you can HAVE my 1974 Dodge Dart. It has the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. The car only has 86K on it.
The body is even in pretty good shape...main problem? Missing engine and transmission, oh, and it's a 4dr.
