Hey everyone

There is a guy that sells every part (from the smallest screw to the whole frame) of his 1976 C3.

I have a 77... He has a whole new brake system on his car. Is the 76 system teh same as a 77?

I don't knwo mush about brakes... what are some good manufacturers/brands?

Define "new". You existing brake system is possibly a year newer than what might be on his 76.

The owner installed a new brake system (about 5 years ago) from Delco.
Is Delco any good for brake systems (better than the original)?

Are the stainless steel sleeved?

The 76 and 77 brake systems should be the same. But I would be wary of this sale. Depending on how long the 76 has sat without use it could have deterioted the brake calipers from the inside. The brake fluid could have "gunked up" for lack of better term, and the calipers would have to be split into two halves, pull the pistons out and inspect for debris and contamination. At that point you have to rebuild the calipers with new pistons and seals. You could do the same exact thing with your calipers and end up with the same rebuilt caliper scenario without having to buy a set of used calipers.

I agree with the above sentiment. Sitting cars are no bueno for brakes.

Probably the same, but only worth core value if they are standard (stock) calipers. One or more will leak. I would never install used pads or even rotors on my car, unless they are virtually brand new and a cheap price. Make sure that they were never reworked on a brake lathe.
