Not even close. I do not even have to look these up, but I did. Chrysler is very well-known for having real good parts interchangeability between multiple models and years. GM is well-known to make everything just different enough so almost nothing interchanges. Ford is somewhere in the middle. These calipers mount entirely differently. I never looked at the hose connection diameter and location, or the piston diameter.
