You have the procedure correct. All I know is,back 30 years or so,I needed a front caliper for my '71 K/20 and the Hollander book said it was the same as a late-60s/erly-70s full size Pontiac and that's what I found in the junkyard. so,as long as it's a big car caliper,I'd say "yes",a car caliper is fine. Remember,the front does most of the braking anyway and drum to disc is considered an upgrade
