vipervetteguy,
Think '65 and up all had 2 bleeders on the rear calipers. Those bleeders need to be at the top 'cause air rises to the top. When calipers are rebuilt and those halves are separated, they could end up on the opposite rear wheel, those bleeders then will still be positioned at the top.

I don`t think thats possible as rear calipers only have one fluid transfer passage between halves, switch outer halves and the outer half will never get any fluid also it`s only the inner half that will accept a brake line opposed to a front caliper that has two fluid transfer passages making it possible to swap outer halves

redvetteracer,
I probably didn't write what I was thinking. The rear calipers have an inner and outer bleeder (1 on each half). It's the inner half that could be swapped from the right side inner to the left side inner and swap the brake line input point with a bleeder.
