I was in an old junkyard this morning and found these brakes that look like they might adapt to my 68 Mustang but I have no clue what they are from. Can any of you tell me from these pics?

I think you would be better off trying to identify the spindle first...very hard to tell with those pictures, but I am leaning toward the MII/Pinto ideas well...or possibly an old Capri? really hard to tell without a clear picture of the spindles, with the straight steering arm on the spindles its certainly not a 65-73 mustang though

I'm with @2Blue2, looks like Maverick/Torino. If these online pictures are correct, here is the front rotor and caliper from a 74-77 Maverick for comparison.
