    Trying to find front brake pads for my 78 CJ7 V8 engine
    First problem is all I see listed is 2 bolt and 6 bolt caliper but I have a 1 bolt caliper
    Then there's a difference between the rear drums 10 or 11 inch decides to front brake pads

    Anybody have any idea why my caliper only has one bolt Center

    Apparently, the caliper is not oem. I would suggest to look for any i.d. on the caliper or pads that you have or even finding out where the front axle is from.

    The 2 bolt and 6 bolt notation refers to caliper bracket, not the caliper itself.
    I am having a hard time finding a picture of the caliper bracket to tell the difference.
