Ok guys what I need is a rear brake caliper that fits the posi 10 bolt...finally got things figured out, and started to get the calipers cleaned, I couldn't get one of them to budge...so to anyone who upgraded do you still have one caliper laying around, hopefully local, if not then would you be willing to ship...I would pay shipping...

What on the caliper wont budge? The piston?

yep, the piston is frozen in place, when using a large c-clamp and lots of pressure I can move it maybe a 1/16th of an inch, and for the life of me I can't even turn the piston. I know I can go to Autozone and get a new one for about 45 bucks, just didn't want to mess with this one any more.

unscrew the bleeder on the caliper and try it. You could just have a blocked line.

I wish that is what it is...it's currently sitting in my vice, no brake lines hooked and bleader valve sitting on my work bench....still no budge...this thing is shot...

Maybe it's already back as far as it goes?

nope, I can't turn it either way...right now if I were to put new pads on it would never go over the rotor..
