    1974 had disc brakes as an option from the factory.....I suppose that is the reason.

    I just ordered the Scarebird kit for the kids 74. Looks like all years are the same. It uses 69 Mustang rotors and 2000 GM truck calipers. I do know the hubs are different between 74’s and earlier, that’s why drums are harder to find. I had and old 72 hub I put on his car so I could use the early drum. Bearings were the same.
