Chances are thats a drum-brake car, front & rear..
But that's ok - Mopar drum brakes stop far better than folks think,
and far better than GM or Ford drum brakes, in my experience..
A standing ovation for 68Fury68 -
There he is, on the other side of the world,
protecting all of us,
fighting for all of us,
and what's on this man's mind..?
His '68 Fury!!!
I don't know him personally, but man, i like him already

sweeeet , true sign of a mopar man. if your car did have front drum, id wait to hit the bone yards, so many of them came with disc brakes, that youll have 1/3 rd the 940 for an aftermarket setup.

Ive owned five 68 Furys in the past 30 years and worked on 100s of them. Not one had disk brakes. Only Mopar I ever owned with disk brakes that early was a 69 charger.
That fury you got is EXACTLY like one of my old ones,LOL. Black 4 dr post with chrome reverse rims and moons LOL. Those pics bring back alot of memories LOL.

You can use any early 70s Fury spindals to convert to disk brakes, Ive done it many times. Your best bet would be 72 and later with the single piston calipers. but if you like the old multible piston claipers they will work also,,LOL. In fact i think Furys all the way up to the early 80s you can adapt the disk brake set up to your 68.

Nice car man!!! I just bought a disc conversion kit from summit for $630. Haven't installed it yet, so I won't recommend until I find out how everything works out. Master Power Brakes had some good looking kits too, but were in the same price range you're looking already.
As for hitting up the bone yards, its definitely the cheaper way to go, but you might run into the problems I did. I went to every salvage yard I could find in a 50 mile radius and everywhere I went, people just laughed. I didn't find a single 70's or earlier mopar anywhere!!! Who's hording them all???!!!!
