Yep gm calipers ..Id start with late 70 's early 80's blazer/ 1/2 ton pickup applications ,,raybestos or Carlson should have kits easily found ,,,also there are rubber bushings where the slide pins are and they are in a separate kit

... i'M GOING TO SAY any of the Good Parts story's will have a rebuilt kit.
Now I'd never rebuild a caliper . you buy rebuilt one.& Get a warranty . as the rebuild kits some times cost as much as the ReMan caliper .
... Napa & Carquest. Maybe Oreally.

Not unless you're sure whatever manufacturer's parts were used were the later calipers.
By far the most common Bronco conversion is the pre-'76 calipers. So I would use '75 as your go-to numbers first.

For all I know the rebuild kits are all the same, but the calipers changed in the late seventies in some aspect. I just don't know the details.
