The Wilwood seams to be installable and working without too much effort

First you have to decide if you want to keep the 14" wheels or not. I like the Scarebird kit, but it requires 15" wheels.

I know yours is a 1960. I just posted the link to give you an idea about an SSBC Chrysler kit install.

I think their kit for a 1960 Chrysler is a W148-35 :

Their kit for a 67 Chrysler is the same when you do not select the race caliper.

Call them.
