74 and maybe 75 Imperials had em. I think it was just on the 9-1/4 rear. I had a complete assembly, but boned the disk parts off years ago and then lost track of everything when I moved.

It all looked cool, but also seemed to be a pain to do aswap to an 8-3/4, not to mention the parts are probably impossible to find. The itty bitty parking brake shoes looked like they belonged on a 60's Datsun.

FWIW, I looked in my '70/'71 parts book in the brake section and could not find any that had rear disc brakes. The carlines the book covers are: Challenger, Barracuda, Valiant, Dart, Belvedere-Satellite, Coronet-Charger, Plymouth, Dodge, Chrysler, and Imperial. Sorry, maybe you didn't want to hear that.

very interesting.
Perhaps offered as a late option during the 70 production year?

The TSB's (Technical Service Bulletins) are simply internal memo's or communications that Chrysler used to provide information to the dealerships.  Ahh, the land before email...
