What about advance auto? 
I actually put a rebuild kit in mine. Cost me about $30 to do the set. As long as there is no rust in the bores you can just clean them up and put in new seals. So far, all is well.

the bores of my calipers are pretty well pitted. I just never seen a service for resleeving.

Vette Brakes sells an SS caliper kit with new brake hoses, pads, etc. www.vbandp.com. If your brake hoses are the original ones I'd go ahead and replace them. If they are old and weak chances are one or more will split or blow out soon after you hook them up to your nice new non-leaking calipers. If you are replacing your calipers, now is a good time to check your rotors too. Easier to replace them now if any are bad. This is also a good time check and repack your front wheel bearings. If the rivets have already been drilled out of your front rotors, servicing the bearings will be easy to do with the calipers already off. With these old cars one thing always leads to another, and another and another....
Good luck.

Don't know about REsleaving but Muskegon Brake will sleeve and rebuild originals for ya. Had 2 sets done over the last few years, $80 per caliper and about 4-6 weeks turnaround. Wanted my originals back as they were low, low mile parts.
