Need help with caliper identification

Can someone help me with what kind of calipers these are. The truck is a 1984 c30 and I went to disc on the rear using the common smaller caliper. I want to replace the larger front calipers and am having trouble finding what they are or any part numbers for them.



Everything seemed to be bone stock when I got the truck down to the backing plates. Is this some kind of option? The truck does have 16.5 front rims. I have not changed anything yet with the front calipers. But the bleeders are both broken off and I will need pads soon. I would rather simply buy loaded calipers and have new breaks all around.

Thanks for any input.

To me they do look like they are either C20 or K20 front calipers. Is there a parking brake connection on the back side of the caliper?

They are a stock caliper for a c30. I just need to remind the parts person to give me the severe duty one without pins at 3 3/8" and around twice the price as the lower cost ones I am using in the rear that I keep getting recommended.

I'm kinda like duct tape- no real purpose, but handy to have around.
