I would suggest going with the calipers without the e-brake.  Much cleaner setup, thats what I did.  Later on I'm planning to go with the t-case parking brake from all pro.  I've also heard the cable is a pain to adapt to the gm calipers but I've never done it so I dont know for sure.  I think a junkyard would be your best bet, if you have one near you.  Many firebirds, camaro's, monte carlos, and buick's have the same brakes.  Basically any mid 80's gm car.  Hope that helps

this will go on my tracker. i dont have a way to install a tcase mounted ebrake right now, so my only option is the caddy calipers or no ebrake. since it is my DD, i kinda need it. once i install a samurai case behind the tracker case, i will install the ebrake on the sami case, but until then, i am gonna have to run the caddy calipers. thanks!

In your case then I guess it does make sense to go with the e-brake ones.  Good luck.  Looks like your headed in the right direction.
