1977 Hornet disk brakes... to slide or not?? Caliper types......was disk swap onto 72 Gremlin



Ok..this pertains to the front disk swap on my 72
Gremlin. I bought some 1977 Hornet disk assy's that
were to have been from  a wagon(already removed
several years ago). They are the slider type calipers
like the 70's Fords. NOW..when i looked em up  to
locate new parts on the Raybestos website it got KINDA
WEIRD. It says..77 is Bendix(of course)...BUT it shows
1976-back as being the sliding bendix caliper...it
does "NOT" mention sliding calipers in 1977...just
says Bendix?? ANY idea whats the deal? The ###'s are
different on hoses,calipers,rotors..all!! Did AMC use
up old stock into 1977 and not put the info out?  I
know FORD did this type of substitution/changeover in
mid year thing ALOT ..i worked at a FORD dealership
for 15 years...sometimes it depended on the "DAY" of
manufacture to get the correct thing on some parts!!
HELP?? Any info appreciated.Thanks alot,Joe
