Anyone know what other brake packages will be compatible?
I would like to upgrade to disk brakes and would love to be able to go to a junk yard and find spindles and rotors from another vehicle that would fit on my beautiful boat.
Any ideas?

These guys have GM B body disc brake conversion kits.

Yea, sorry I should have said that I have found a few on Ebay and such but they want more than I have to spend. I was more looking for a cheaper, donor application.
But thank you for the reply. If I cant find anything else I might have to go that route.

A donor route may be available, But it would take some searching. I found a few such sites last night but not for the Bonneville (GM "B" Body may get you better search results)

That helps alot, thanks. So these older body bonnevilles are classified as "B" bodies? I will look further into that. Thanks.

I think stock big body disc brakes came in on the 67 and 68'* so that may be a bolt on swap but, generally they were just better ... not great.

I put the (factory) aluminum 8-lugs on my 65 gp and they have little fade etc, cause the finned drums are open to the air.
If the car is a real keeper (and looker) they are remanufacturing these (Arrowhead Components) (scroll down a ways on the site).
... And they look great (Maui Auctions Listing Photos) if you love the mid 60'* look as I do.

(Maybe even the GP parts might work since all of the cars were "big" ...although my 69 gp is considered "extended A body" ...?)

... one more thought for the Pontiac purist ...

I have seen 65 and 66 bonne/cat/gps with the disc swap and then able to have rallye 2'* like the 69+ big bodies.
Here is a link for the rallye II wheels on a 70 gp (triple white like my 69 gp) http://ponchopio.fotki.com/various_f...s70gpsj01.html

these wheels look real good on the older iron too.

I'll second the Scarebird set up...

I agree to what Jeff and Patrick say. The Scarebird setup is the best bang for the buck.
