PBR Brake Identification

Hey all, can anyone help me identify these rear pbr brakes?? The guy advertising them for sale says they are from a third Gen, but I can’t find anything online or on this forum that can verify it. They look like ls1 brakes with the backing plate and the parking brake shoes like a drum...

NOT Thirdgen.

Looks like a pile of junk anyway. More trouble than it's worth.

That looks like 4th gen, but the parking brake cable bracket looks wrong. Should work on any 10 bolt though. If it is cheap enough I would pick it up, all that can be cleaned and used again. I bought the same setup used to put on my 2nd gen

Well after much internet searching, I have found out that these brakes are off the mid- to late- 90s caprice and impala, caprice with the police package, and the impala ss.. just and FYI

Negative. Those would appear to 93-97 calipers, or they have been modified to be like the 93-97 calipers.

The correct 89-92 calipers have the cooling fins extending completely around the face of the caliper.





And an example of the current 89-92 casting...
