    Moved to tech as this isn't a restoration question.
    To answer your question, yes you can as long as it's in good functioning condition.

    Unless you have to 10" brakes in hand you should probably consider 11" instead, parts are a lot more common. Do a search on "brake conversion"

    While you can use the stock M/C most people choose to convert to a dual circuit unit when converting as they are just inherently a lot safer.
