I have a 87 v10 blazer with 14 bolt rear with the caliper conversion already installed. But it's using front calipers so no e brake. Purchased Driveline e brake from Jesse for np205 which I was told it had but when I looked it's either a np207 or 208. I'm new to Chevy. So I'm wanting to get 76-77 eldorado rear calipers with e brake which I was told by Ruffstuff to get. I been searching and found out some places doesn't supply e brake hardware on calipers. Is that true? Where can I find complete loaded calipers with E-Brake? Also, which brake line do I get? Or do I just use stock e brake cable? Thanks guys.

That's true. Since the e-brake lever is hardware and not a wear item they typically do not come with reman calipers. I've also read they are discontinued from GM. Your best bet may be used unless someone here knows of a shop make reproduction stuff.
Funny thing is I just replaced my 85 Caddy rear calipers thru O Reilly's via Kragen sales slip and they came with all hardware.

The 76-78 calipers don't usually come with the levers. You can get the new reproduction calipers with levers from TSM, but they're expensive.
And in my case, the ebrake that comes on the TSM really wont hold my suburban unless I crank it down so far that they smoke while going down the road when in the off position. I'm not impressed with them at all.
Toms Broncos parts sells complete calipers which sure do look like the right ones.

Mine work ok, but I wouldn't trust it alone on a really steep hill.
I will eventually add front and rear line locks or mico locks to mine for when I need to lock it up off road. Obviously not OK for extended periods of time and not really legal as a park brake. Mine is an automatic though so I only need it for steep hills and special situations to take the load off the parking pawl.
