    I like to know if the front disc brakes, floor shift steering column off a 74 mustang cobra will work on my 73 maverick grabber. My maverick has front drum brakes and a column shift.

    that mustang might have a pretty well geared and/or posi center section that will work in your maverick, if its a 8''

    About the brakes, a Granada will work. 77-78. Discs will match up to ur spindles, if you already have 5-lug.

    yup, but there's no caliper bracket on drum brake spindles. look for 75-80 Ford Granada's, Mercury Monarch's, 74-77 Mavericks/Comets that came with disc brakes (note: ALL 76-77 models have disc brakes) and you can even use Lincoln Versailles fron disc setup but you have to modify them slightly to get them to work. good luck and welcome :)
