Chrysler Corporation was the only company to use 4-piston Budd disc brakes
and they were available only on C-body cars.
1966-1968 Plymouth Fury
1966-1968 Dodge Polara & Monaco
1966-1968 Chrysler (all series)
1967-1969 Imperial
For 1969 all but the Imperial switched to Kelsey-Hayes single piston disc
brakes and the Impeial followed in 1970.
A-body cars used Kelsey-Hayes opposed piston brakes while the B-body cars
used Bendix opposed piston brakes. Nothing interchanges between the three
brake systems.
American Motors used Bendix opposed-piston brakes and switched to
Kelsey-Hayes single-piston brakes for 1971, the same year as Chrysler
B-body
models, although they returned to Bendix for the 1975 model year. A-body
cars switched to K-H single piston brakes for 1973. GM used
Delco-Moraine
and Bendix disc brakes, while Ford used Ford and Kelsey-Hayes brakes.
Studebaker used Bendix disc brakes based on British Dunkop designs.

Subject: RE: IML: budd rotors on ebay
There are several Chrysler Corp. models that used these brake rotors.
The
only difference is the size of the hub. Someone from our group had
posted
a
list of models that used them. They were: (from memory)
67 to 69 Imperial
68 & 69 New Yorker
67 to 69 300's
67 to 69 Polara
67 to 69 Monaco
This is just from memory. And they say 'memory' is the second thing to
go
when you get older. (I forget what the first one was)

These things could get snapped up pretty fast on Ebay. I don't remember
if
it has come up in conversation before, but I'm wondering how many other
mopar models besides Imperials got these. I used to work with someone
that
had a 67 Dart GT and a few years back, he had the brakes done, and what
he
was describing sounded a lot like the Budd system. He was amazed at the
size
of the brakes.
