    I found a '84 LTD with new brakes and wondering if it would swap onto my '71 Maverick. I'm sorry if this is the wrong section, this is my first true post.

    I doubt it, or we would be able to give you an answer. We pretty much know what swaps work with Mavericks.

    call autozone and ask if the rotor for a 74 maverick or comet are the same part number as the ltd if they are then theyll fit otherwise definitely get a return policy cause it may not work

    What I'm stumped at is the spindle and grease seal, and all of that are identical. The rotor might be a bit size bigger, but it should work shouldn't it?

    THe brakes look similar but the steering is in front of the spindle so it wont work.

    I dont think that would work. Would move the caliper to the front. The ball joint positions may be different. the tie rod length and angle will be different. I would just look for Granada or maverick stuff and do it right.

    Salvage yard should have access to the hollander interchange numbers. That will tell you for sure. Or if the parts are cheap enough give it a shot and report back.

    None of that stuff is going to work. Especially the Pinto stuff...no matter if it is 4-lug or 5-lug. Pinto is a totally different suspensionand steering system.
