    I found a 78 Ford Ranchero in the parts yard and it still has the disc Brake set up on it,My question is will the disc Brakes setup work on my 72 maverick? I'd like to know before I waste my money,thanks

    I'm 99% no, spindles need to be from a similar unibody, the Ford & Mercury intermediates and Ranchero went to full frame in '72...

    If it were a '68-'71 they'd fit...
