    It's a '75 CJ5 with disc brake conversion up front. The brake caliper bracket is the 6 bolt one.
    The brake caliper has "Bendix", "2235074" and "431" markings on it.

    I'm looking to get new pads and the caliper piston seals. I think I got the pads, the local parts store told me the pads are for old Ford truck. Trying to get he piston seals but I don't know what model to look for.

    Tried searching for the Bendix numbers on the caliper but haven't find anything.

    I thought they where from a 77+ CJ "6 bolt"/ "big piston" calipers; but I saw online a brake pad kit for a 77 6 bolt caliper bracket that said *not for Bendix. So I'm a little confused.

    JMO - I would not rebuild disc brake calipers. Instead, I'd buy new or reman calipers. Maybe your parts store can show you a caliper that goes along with that pad.

    If it's disk brakes, and a Ford, it can't be that old. I believe the Ford trucks all went to disks by 1970. Look on RockAuto at a front brake caliper for a '70 F-100 and see if it looks like what you have. Ford made and continues to make millions of light trucks, so parts should be plentiful if they are actually Ford truck parts.

    If i where to buy new calipers, would I ask for 77' 6 bolt bracket calipers? or I'm better off bringing the old caliper in?

    You would be better off bringing it in there were multiple calipers around that time that were used
