    I have the pads (2 sets) and a set of calipers. PM me if interested, and I can send/post pics.

    CARS inc should have the pads. When I replaced mine some years back, they were asking for almost $40 bucks for them ( standard pads ). No bargain but supply and demand rules.

    Try rock auto? $166 with core charge and $248 w/ premium semi loaded calipers.

    Tried cut and paste but it was too large for the posting.

    Rock Auto only has the caliper, not the pads. Been there, done that.

    4-piston calipers were used in the big buicks in 1969. My 69 wildcat came with them.

    Pad sets pop up on e-bay occasionally.

    I would buy calipers from

    www.calipersonline.com

    Nice guy, nice quality product, at least as of three years ago.
