I've been told that the Cadillac commercial chassis brakes are more robust than on the passenger cars, and I have this vague impression they were from Chevy pickup trucks or something like that, but don't know for certain. I'm thinking I should have my '73 S&S Victoria's brakes looked at, but it would be nice to be able to be specific with whoever does the work. Anyone know what Cadillac used?

The only difference in the front was that the pads were riveted instead of glued. The rear brakes are drums, and they also used riveted linings. The master cylinder is different in some applications than the passenger car, but that is all there is that comes to mind. Check Rock Auto and you will see that for the most part almost everything is still available today, with the exception of the rotors.
If the brake hoses have not been replaced, now would be a good time. Have them chk the rear axles seals for any leakage when the rear is done.
