Grand Prix is a candidate.  Also add the 68-69 camaro & firebird  and the
ones most people overlook:   68-74 Nova (chev), Apollo (buick), Omega
(olds), Ventura (pontiac).      With these, you need to reuse the
steering arms from your drum spindles. 

Concerns:   Get at least the following:  Spindle/rotor assembly,  Frame
bracket (at wheel) that mounts flexible brake hose,  proportioning valve,
 hard lines from master cylinder to prop valve, hard lines from prop
valve to flexible lines at wheel,  master cylinder (booster too if going
power),  the push rod that goes from brake pedal arm to the back of the
master cylinder or back of booster,  and finally the small sheet metal
bracket that mounts on the brake pedal arm (it actuates the brake light
switch).  

Unless you are real lucky, the calipers, master cylinder and booster are
best used for core charge.   Replace them with new/rebuilt items before
installation. 
Happy hunting.
