Yup I got a '72 as well and you have to find parts to swap in. You can buy rotors, calipers, pads, master cylinder from NAPA but you have to get the bracketry and backing plates from a donor truck. There's a guy on here who has a post in the classifieds about some complete spindle assemblies he has, I talked to him and its complete with brakes.

Be sure to introduce yourself in the introduction section too.

cool glad I could help! I was the same way when I found this site, my first LUV , didnt know anything about it and everybody is great as long as you dont mind asking questions. I ended up doing a V8 swap, coilover front conversion ( removed torsion bars) Also check the classified for parts for sale, most keep parts just because somebody might need it sometime.
If need anything let me know.

and Welcome

If you get near huntsville let me know!!
