Caliper

My calipers are sticking. i am thinking to just replace them with Cardone or Raybestos kind from Kragen or something.

Should i be sticking to the stock original? Rebuild the stock ones?

Pelican doesn't stock calipers for my 74 2002 Auto.

If the pistons are are in good shape I would rebuild them.

Theres no reason you cant go with another brand.

I agree, just rebuild them-it's a simple job and doesn't take much time. For pads I highly recommend Porterfield R4S carbon/kevlar pads. They grip like race pads but don't have to get hot to work well. They are expensive but worth the money. I've used them on several cars with great results.
