I am not sure you could call what I have done a "trick", but it sure is a nice thing to do. I swapped in 67 Mustang 4 piston caliper disc brakes for my 70 Maverick. I like the stopping ability much nicer than with the drums(of course) and they are better than the 74 Maverick discs I had before. The 67 brakes are easier when it comes to pad changes, brake bleeding(because the valves is in the front of the caliper), and stops much much better. Another swap was the use of a 66 Mustang 8 inch rear (I tried the 68 for awhile but it was just too wide when using wide tires, while the 66 fit fine). Future projects include power brakes, shaker hood scoop.
