I know you guys answer this question once a year and I did a search, but couldn't find it

I have a 72 K5, disc front
1985 GMC 2wd with good cylinders on the front

Will the '85 GMC's fit the K5?

Are you referring to front brake calipers? If so, a quick check on Advance Auto parts show 2 different part numbers for the calipers. Therefore, I do not believe that they will interchange. Calipers are pretty cheap. It is probably wisest to buy some new or rebuilts or buy a hone and some rebuild kits and do it yourself.
