Help with 80-85 Cadillac Rear Disc - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am currently switching my 68 chevy from rear drum to disc. I am almost completed with the project, but I have not been able to source out the springs and levers for the 80-85 rear disc from Cadillac Seville.

I have got some GM part numbers from various sites, but when i called GM, I found out they were all obsolete. I am in need for the levers/spring and any other items that I would need on the rear parking brake calipers.

I would like to keep the parking brake option, I would also NOT like to get these items from a junk yard. Let me know if you guys have any ideas.

If someone has a pic of what they look like, I may have a set.

Check out these guys. It's where I got my calipers from -

Though I think rear discs are overkill on a p/u unless you're towing a lot.
They do save a ton of weight on a 14b.
