You can only swap with other B-bodys. Anything from '65-'70 will fit since these years all use the same frame. The front spindles are the same for all full size GM cars from '55-'70 although I think that only the '65+ 10 and 12 bolt axles use the same brake backing plate mounting flange (I have not closely examined earlier years). For disc brakes look into MP Brakes or Baer, this is the best way to do a swap. You can use the spindles, calipers and rotors from a '70 Impala, but replacement rotors are getting hard to find and they are not cheap when you do find them. I've heard that you can also use the brake system from a '71+ Impala but I have not tried this.
