Gimme a brake!

I need to either rebuild or replace the calipers on my 1970 F-250. These are the Dayton twin-piston caliper, big mamas.Anyone know of what these big mamas go for? A side note: Any opinions as to which is better for the frame, Eastwood's corroless stuff, or POR-15? I am about ready to start wire wheel stripping the frame, and want to coat it black with something. Thanks, Bill.

I have just replaced mine with rebuilts(last year). They came with pads also! I believe 85-95.00 each. Mine were from NAPA Auto

I think by popular vote try the POR15

I used the POR 15, it looks very nice, get the chassis coat if you do it, makes it shine real nice.

I just replaced my dual piston calipers for around $40.00 each from O'Reilly. Also, I blasted then painted my frame and components with PPG Epoxy DP90LF...gives a nice satin finish and super hard as well.
