Front brake caliper compatibility
 

I may have to replace my left front caliper due to a busted bleeder screw. Does anybody know which years front calipers are compatible with a '72 K20? Might widen the field of availability.

it all depend son if your hose end at the caliper end of hose will fit on 73-up calipers or not.. you never know,, all you have to do is physically compare at the parts counter, let us know what you find out,.. also measure inside width of caliper and mounting slider bolts separation distances too to make sure.

good luck
