Truck is an 83 GMC, not driven much (@38K miles on it). Last week while in town I noticed the left front brake was dragging.

Given the age and what I found nosing around here, figure it's time to replace the rubber lines, and probably do calipers, pads, and maybe rotors at the same time.

AC Delco lines are cheap enough (@$12 each on Rockauto). What kind of calipers and pads do yall recommend? Looks like Delco sells a caliper/hardware/semi metallic pad set, but from what I've heard Delco isn't what it used to be, and these might just be the same crap Chinese parts in a fancy Delco box.

Suggestions?
