Can you tell me please will any other year brake caliper work on a 72 bus besides a 72?

Thanks!

Thank you. That's what I was afraid of...
I have a 72 Bus that pulls horribly to the left when braking. Discovered that the right caliper was leaking copius amounts of brake fluid and the pads were done for as a result.
So, we replaced the pads with new both sides and rebuilt both front wheel cylinders as well with new rebuild kits.
The leaking has disappeared but the pulling is still quite apparent.
The whole system has been bled 3 times and no trash was seen in the lines. Oh yeah, the front brake hoses have been replaced as well...
Ideas??? Magic wand? Anyone??

Not really. It's a pretty basic system. If the rotors, caliper, pistons, hoses are up to snuff, I'd look at the master to see if there's a reason it would be delivering more pressure to one side than the other.
