what calipers do i need?

i finally got my 5 lug converted to 8 lug on the front and my brakes on the back now just need calipers on the front end. im not sure what year my outers are from but they're late 70s gm outers. it seems there is a difference between 78-79 im not sure what to get . ill post picutres of the mounts if you guys think it will help. i looked on lmc and noticed that the caliper mount is the same for both the years. any help appreciated
