The Role of "B Body" In Your Disc Brake Conversion Kits

When you are shopping for parts for your mid-size or muscle car, you've probably encountered the term "B Body." We use is a lot in our online store, as well, for instance on our 1962-1972 Mopar B-Body & E-Body Stock Height Disc Brake Conversion Kit. But what is a B body? And how does it impact which disc brake conversion kit you purchase? 

The term B-body refers to the type of platform that was used to build the car. Chrysler used this platform on their muscle cars and mid-sized sedans and were particularly heavily used between 1960 and 1975. The disc brake conversion kit mentioned above will also work for an E-body vehicle, which is the platform used for the sport cars such as the Challenger and Barracuda. 

So what does this have to do with your disc brake conversion? The platform type used to built your car will dictate the placement of the parts that you'll need to do the conversion. We match our disc brake conversion kits to the body type used so you don't have to modify any of your pieces to fit; everything should work together perfectly. 

If you aren't sure which body type you have, check out one of the helpful online guides. Then come back to Pirate Jack and place an order for the disc brake conversion kits that you need. Most of the items in our online store ship for free, too, so you'll get a great deal on exactly the parts that you need.
