79 Front Dana 60 Caliper problems

I am having problems with the front calipers on my dana 60. It seems like the caliper brackets and the bolted part of the caliper have worn out. One was welded by the previous owner, the other one rattles a lot. Does anyone know of a place to get replacement parts, or has anyone upgraded to newer brake calipers from an 87-up? Thanks

Try putting the spring long ways in a vice and "carefully" arch it more.
