I screwed up and bought everything from a 79 cordoba, yup i've gotten slider calipers. All of my donor stuff is pin style calipers! So when I return to the parts store, what year and model b body do I need to ask for to get pin style calipers? Thanks, Dan

I think some late 77 B-body Fury with pin type calipers would work too. Last edited by autoxcuda; 01/24/12 03:17 AM.
