Looking for a set of correct calipers, cores or rebuilt, for my '70 project and I have no clue what the part# is. Thanks.

These were unique to 1970 Camaro/Firebirds w/Ft.Disc only,as 1971 & on saw many newly designed revisions.
1970 Left front #5470121.. beginning w/1971,#5472532.
1970 Right front #5470122..beginning w/1971,#5472533.
Bear in mind that these part #'s are NOT the same as the casting number actually cast into them.These are merely the shelf ID part numbers the GM placed on them in.
Someone who owns any one of these cars,could probably tell you the actual number cast into the caliper..

Thanks Rick I would have spent time uselessly looking for the par# thinking it was the casting#. Ya just gotta love resto parts puzzles!!

There is a guy in the Gateway Camaro Club in the St. Louis that has several 70 Camaros. I know he bought an RS/SS off a friend to part out as the body was rusted from sitting out in the midwest since 1978.

I have decided that if no one knows the correct casting# then chances are no one would know if I had the correct one or not as long as it is period correct.

None that I can see.Ft.Disc <u>only</u>,was the only prerequisite.
As the years rolled into the mid 1970's,Novas-Chevelles-Camaros all shared a newly designed revised caliper.
