    Front disc brakes were optional on '74 Mavericks/Comets. I converted my '73 drum brakes to the '74 disc system.

    Just my .02 , but I would never trust six dollar brake pads! Having been in the commercial vehicle Brake industry for over 30 years , my opinion is Brakes are no place to cut corners...
