Re: Rear brake caliper id

Hard to tell from that pic, can you get one from further away?

If I had to guess, I'd say it's a caliper from a 73-87 3/4ton front axle. That is the standard caliper for an 8lug disc swap. To narrow it down even more, most kits specify to use a 77+ one, though an earlier will bolt on just fine.
