Are the brakes on the 1965 Impala a direct swap?If so, l have found a company that makes a complete disc brake kit for the Impala.Otherwise, any other ideas.

Ask the company that makes the brake kit.

l have a 1961 Catalina with stock drums on the front...However ..as far as l can remember..all GM cars took the same front brake pads if they had disc brakes..

B-52 was the Bendix part number. That stood still until the front wheel drive cars came out. Then it was B-154.

So...YES..The Catalina & the Impala take the same brake hardware in those early models as far as disc brakes.

That is brake pads...master cylinders. (hydraulics wheel cylinders, calipers,) etc.. may be different..''delco, morraine'' etc.

The 1965 66 Catalina and the 1965 66 Chevy Impala are basically the same car. l worked at Classic Industries and l sold many parts for Impalas to people with full sized Pontiac's. Even some floor pans and interior parts are the same. Contact Classic Industries they have replacement stock parts and also upgrades for disc brakes. l sent you their link and you can download the catalog for free.

Take you car to Midas and have them fix the brakes...they took the manual disc/drum brakes off my car and installed a power brake system for my 66 GTO...cost about $850 complete with all parts, rotors, pads, etc..monster difference in my braking.Midas can get brake parts for most 60s cars..
