Either 77-81 F body calipers or the 77-up b body calipers. Both are the same. The earlier calipers (69-76?) had different thread size for the hoses. Make sure you get the b body master cylinder if you have a vacuum set up.
I used one for an 86 Caprice wagon. You just have to swap the plastic reservior for one from a G body master.
Other than that, it sounds like you are set.

I bought calipers and all related hardeware for an 83 Olds Custum Cruiser but IMO it doesnt matter which vehicle you pick as long as it had the 12" rotors. I wouldnt spend any extra money on the fancy stuff either. I took the advise from a buddy to go with regular stock stuff any regular pads. I went ahead and did s-10 wheel cylinders and big shoes in the rear shortly after the 12" front and the bias is pretty good. If anything I need a Prop valve to add alittle more to the rear since in the first test of stabbing the peddle the fronts only will lock. I am gonna let em all break in a while and test again.
Sorry...It was more info than you asked for but you cant have too much info right?
HTH
ps...I definately need to get a strap to hold the laptop in the passenger seat
