yea i would check to see what other discs have the same bearings as your spindle uses. if not i would see which disc brake cars have the same size king pin as yours.

On my 68 Mustang I used 73 Maverik front spindles for the Disc brakes, all I had to do was swap out the spindles and use the later model tie rod ends and brake lines with it. Super easy!

I just did a part search of the upper and lower ball joints on your wagon and they use the same as these.

I looked and the 1972 CONTINENTAL (I'm sure the LTD and some other will also) have Disc brakes, so you might look into if this will work the same as what I did with my Mustang. :2cents:
