Please help ID Brakes!!!!70??71???72??73+??



I would really appreciate some help with my brake caliper seal kits. I have ordered 71 and I think that's what it's supposed to be but I cannot get them to fit. The dust boot always distorts or flare out when I try to get them into the caliper. I ordered a 70 today and it came in but it was very small dust boots and seals. Can someone who has discs please let me know if these are the same as theirs and what year?? What I do with the dust boot is I put one end by fingers and then take a hammer and a screw driver with a 3/8 end and lightly tap it in. Problem is, when I get one side in, the other pops out and if I clamp the other side, it distorts or flares the dust boot metal edge. Please help, I am soooooo frustrated that I cannot get these brakes back on. It's the last thing I need to do before this truck is drivable.

I think they are from 71, the caliper kits rebuild were $6 and only had the seal and dust boot included. I just found out today that the entire caliper (-pads) is $18!!! That's a no brainer man. 1 whole week wasted messing with these things and I could of had a brand new set for under $40. Sometimes I just want to punch my self in the face....jeeez
