47-55.1 Cadillac calipers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I’m curious if anyone has used Cadillac rear calipers on their ride. Are they good units, good stopping power, etc?

I have a Ford Explorer rear for my 54. It’s been sitting in the elements for a few years, so all the brake components will need replaced anyway. From a money standpoint, it’s about a wash converting to Eldo calipers vs. replacing a all the OE Ford stuff.

I’d kind of like to have vented discs vs. solid, not to mention I could move to a slightly larger rotor.

Any thoughts?
