Rene.....those are GM pads.....but I'm not sure about the calipers....how do they mount to the spindle?

Almost looks like Ford calipers after closer inspection....could be Ford pads as well

Those must be GM calipers -  who's kit did you purchase ?  MP brakes ?

I have my doubts to that....GM uses sliding pins to mount calipers to the "bridge".....which is why I asked to see the other side of the caliper

They look like OEM Chrysler, mid to late 70s, slider style calipers. The tabls on the ends of the calipers sit on the adapter bracket and a coulpe of sheet metal clips with a bolt hold them down. Replacement parts could come from Dart, Duster, Aspen, Volare, Fury, Cordoba, etc.

  :iagree:  They're F, J, M, R body calipers, check the rebuilder's pic below.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

HOTROD

YES I see the penstar on them and they look like my 79 dodge magnum ones I just got in !! :2thumbs:
What the Hell-Dumass !

BigBlockSam

Yes! thank you  :2thumbs: i'm glad there Chrysler . i'll post a pic when i get them together  :cheers:

late 70's - early 80's mopar slider calipers - common on Diplomats, Volares, etc etc

Bobs69

How about a picture from another angle, and maybe see the pads.........

They look just like the set i am using on my 68.  Mine came off a 75 Dart/Duster.  I would say Chrysler calipers for sure.

I have that same caliper that I got with my kit.  I was told it's a 70's truck caliper.  Probably a wide useage across the board though.
