What year Seville is a better donor for it's rear disc brakes? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I went 'yarding today after work and found 2 Cadillac Sevilles with complete rear disc brake set-ups. One was a '77 (rear wheel drive) and the other was a '78 (front wheel drive with the funky sloped decklid...ugly)

Are these the same, or is one a better donor than the other. I have read that the '79-'85 Eldorados and Rivieras are good donors, but the rotors on all the ones I have seen in the wrecking yard were 5X4.75 bolt pattern. Maybe I could grab the calipers off those and the rotors and brackets off the '77 or '78?
