K10 disk brake caliper
 

I picked up a 10 bolt corporate front axle assembly so I can put disk brakes on my 70 K10 Suburban. The seller said the axle was military surplus and has never been installed. I figured I'd post this in the square body section since it is probably from that generation. It still was bolted to the shipping blocks. One of the calipers is missing the plug over the brake line port so I want to replace it since the axle has been sitting outside for a while. Does anyone recognize this caliper? Online I've found similar calipers but none have the same configuration for the brake line. Any ideas wjat to search for?

should just be an 84 k5 blazer caliper.

Thanks

I'm not familiar with the square body trucks. Is the 84 K5 Blazer caliper different from the other K series trucks?

Looks just like the calipers in my 85 k20

not different, but most cucv blazers I've seen were 84 models.

Best bet would be to change them as a pair or you may have issues down the road.

One thing to think about:

The 80's calipers would need a 10mm banjo bolt and matching brake line..
You might want to get dana 44 1970's calipers that take the 7/16 banjo bolt which would match a brake hose from a 71 or 72 disc brake truck.
