Any suggestions for some rear calipers (any brand - Ford or other) with 44 mm (1.73") or larger diameter pistons that would fit 11 mm (0.43") or 12 mm (0.47") thick solid rotors??? I am looking for calipers that have the mechanical parking brake built into the caliper.

I already know about Explorer rear calipers, but they are for separate parking brake shoes in the hat... not what I am looking for.

I'm using a 7.5" pre-92 Ranger rear axle in the fiberglass 32 Ford I am building.

I've found some 98 Buick / Cad calipers that fit 11 mm thick solid rotors, but the piston is way too small to get the front / rear bias I will need.

What are you looking for out of the caliper? I doubt you will find one that will work. The only ones I know of that will work with the thinner small caliper are the caddy, S10, and subaru calipers. Nothing else that is bigger will work for something that thin. What are you worried about with the rear caliper. The caddy caliper will be fine. They make make a dual piston caddy caliper if you search around.
