I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking who makes a direct bolt in 12 bolt for f-bodies? If so then I know Moser and Strange does.

There aren't any that are the correct width in a junkyard. All would need to be modified.

1965 to 1970 Impala, Bel Air, Biscayne, Caprice 12 bolts are the right width, but the housing ends are a little larger so our brakes are not a direct bolt on using your original brackets/backing plate. A flat bracket is simple to have made that will allow you to bolt LT1 brakes directly on.

Been there....done that...got pics to prove it.
