They will interchange, but my 1968 has the dual piston calipers and two piece rotors. I don't know if all 1968's had that setup though. John

Yes, '67 and '68 have the 2-piston calipers. '69 was the first year for the much more common single piston design.

I have a complete '68 4 piston set up with the rotors, and I have the single piston set up also, but with no rotors. The question is, has anyone use the '68 rotors with the '69 and up set up?

Since the 4 piston calipers are son prone to trouble, I don't know why anyone would want to do that. New single piston calipers are not that expensive.

One last note: The spindles from the 67-68 four piston calipers interchange with those from the 69-72 single piston calipers. Only the bolt-on caliper brackets are different.

Cool Two piece

My '69 Vista had two piece rotors and single piston calipers, I believe it was factory...I don't have any leakage problems since I had stainless sleeves installed in our four piston calipers... Single piston calipers are cheap but four piston are SEXY..
