As nobody has replied yet, I'll have a go, even though my VIN number is not
close to yours!  First thing is to find out if your car has Kelsey Hayes or
Bendix brakes - from a posting a year ago or so (forgot who posted that):
"The easiest way to tell which type brakes you have, is to look at the bolts
that hold the caliper anchor plates to the steering knuckle. If they are hex
head bolts it's Kelsey Hayes. If it is an Allen head bolt, then it's a
Bendix set up".

I have the Bendix brakes. I had the front brakes overhauled last year, but
unfortunately not the rotors, so I don't have parts numbers for them. All
parts were immediately available from Centric, including the rotors and the
brake power booster. I did not buy the rotors because mine were fine and the
price for new rotors was high. I had the work done at "Just Brakes" in
Colorado Springs, and I would imagine any good brake specialist should be
able to get the parts for you. If you ever need other part numbers, I have
them for calipers, hoses, disc hardware, booster, etc. I think the parts
cross-reference to many AMC V8 cars of the 1970s.
