    Not sure what other year Rivs will swap. I know NO other make or model will fit. Only Rivs, and I believe only 67.

    I can email the ROA tech for that year and let you know the answer.

    But...

    You should keep the drums. Here's why:

    Unless you can afford a couple grand to have a modern disc system adapted to your spindles, the Riv disc system is very rare and incredibly hard to find parts for.

    The big aluminum drums you have, when kept adjusted and filled with good meaty shoes, will stop pretty well for you.
