Re: Brake caliper confusion
When I bought new S/S hoses from off E bay
Hoses unlimited. They said 71 brakes are a 1 year design.
72 up will fit 73 up until the change year.
I had replaced my calipers several years before and remembered this info after calling them about the hoses not fitting. So I had to send the 71 hoses back and he sent me the 72 up hoses. No problems after that and it was my fault but he took care of it for free no extra charge.
Info:
72 up calipers are a lot easier to come by and will fit up to the 80 models.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!
LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
