Brake calipers
FS: If you're thinking about brakes, here's a stash of genuine OEM PBR C4 calipers, all rehabbed with new boots, seals. All leftovers from a late '80s racing program. Both early C4 single-barrel fronts and later C4 dual-barrels.
Some for 13-inch rotors, lots of 12s. Rears are missing springs. Asking $35 for early design fronts, $50 and $60 for later design. Rears $20 apiece as is. Shipping extra.

Hello, brownsburg. I think all C4s have the same rear calipers. I have a bunch. I'd gladly have you come by our shop. We're the Kramer Motor Co., 124 E. Broadway, Shelbyville.

They're not all the same, the rear calipers changed throughout the years. The later C4's went from a drum emergency brake to manual cable operated calipers.

If you're talking about the early drum e-brake vs off the caliper: the e-brake cable lever is on the backing plate, not on the caliper (which is where the brake shoes are mounted). At least it is on my 86, having replaced a hub the other weekend.

So you will need the drum style parking brake for the rear. The fronts are 11.5" rotors if I recall correctly which also have different calipers than later 88'+ C4s.

As you note , single piston caliper on 84- 87 fronts.
As previously observed , the rears you show are 88 - 96
