Thanks Dave, I’ll reach out to him.Contact Craig at Mobil Parts, a vendor on this site, he should have them. If he does not have one, he can also rebuild yours.

Where did you end up finding these?I had a tough time finding them for my 73 Fury but I did finally get the right ones.

I personally would never buy anything A1 Cardone. Problems almost every time.
One can get very well rebuilt calipers from O'Reillys Auto Parts using their Brake Best brand: https://www.oreillyauto.com/
That is where I go at least and their prices are very reasonable.
A1Cardone didn’t have one, but thank you for the heads up. Oreilly’s didn’t have it either, but that is where I shop often, plus they have a military discount which is a plus.
Update- I shipped the original caliper off to White Post Restorations in VA to get it rebuilt. Here’s their link for reference and I will provide an update once I receive it back and installed.

Greatly appreciated! Centric was the first place I checked since I purchased the rotors from them. They have the passenger side avail but not the driver side.At my local O'reilly's store, they list them as available but are currently out of stock....
The other option would be to buy the calipers that Centric rebuilds - their new disc brake rotors are the best available anywhere for our C bodies........................
I see also that Centric is out of stock currently for our C bodies on their rebuilt calipers too.
I will try to find out directly from Centric why they are not available currently since they are local to me.

Yeah I won’t be going that route. I initially got a hold of them in the morning, then tried calling back for additional info multiple times and they never answered. This prompted me to look them up, they have a very low rating and a lot of bad reviews, kind of glad they didn’t answer.. I ended up sending the caliper to White Post Restoration in VA.lots of luck ever getting anything from the ram man
