I have 2 eldorado calipers with e-brake off a 1973 or 75 caddy (cant remember) with new brake pads. $125 plus shipping PM me

Just to save you confusion later if you ran these then they are 76-78 Eldorado as any other year will not work because the piston is different and won't fit over the rotors.
 
Okay, thanks for the info. I was told it was either a '73,'74,'75 or somewhere near that year. I will post more photos to try to help determine exact year.
 
If you retract the piston (these SCREW IN with a special tool) and then take a pic so i can see the pad piston area i can probably tell you if they are the ones everyone is looking for. Basically when the piston is retracted and a new set of pads are installed there needs to be 1 1/4" between the pads in order to fit over the 3/4 ton rotor.
 
Heres a measurement, its coming out to be a little over 1 1/4, piston fully compressed looks to be approx. 1 7/16
