My 55 Chevy 4X4

I was looking into late 70s Eldorado rear calipers but I read they don't work that good and it would cost close to $300 for complete calipers with the actuators. Then I would need to buy a e-brake cable. So I bought some front refurbished calipers for $20. Still not cheap but for around $300 I can do a drive line e brake. The install would be easier and look better in my opinion. I know a drive line failure would prevent the e brake from working but I am mainly looking for it to be a parking brake. I doubt I would remember to pull the brake if my truck was coming apart on the freeway.
The one plus for bigger rims is I think 17s would clear my idler arm and I could bring the rim in about an 1 1/2" so the tires don't stick out so much.
