Bendix was the original manufacturer for that caliper -- but NO LONGER do.....
That caliper is only available in the rebuilt world at this time -- or you can buy the caliper rebuild kits (just rubber) super inexpensively.....
Those calipers, in the rebuilt world, are still commonly available....

FYI:
mobileparts has his brake systems confused.
BENDIX brakes were used on the 66-69 B BODY line of cars, and are 4 piston calipers.
The brakes that are used on the 65-72 A BODY line of cars, with the 4 piston calipers, are KELSEY HAYES brakes.
The Single piston, sliding caliper, brakes that you are inquiring about are also a KELSEY HAYES manufacturer, used on the 73-76 a body cars.
Don't have a "part number" to give you as i never have seen a part number on a caliper, other than manafacturer "casting" numbers that i don't know much how to decode.
There are various Kelsey Hayes calipers, depending body style, year, where, and how, the brake hose attaches to the caliper.

The caliper is not carried in the Chrysler Parts catalog as an assembly. The piston housing is 3580 850-1. There are two different single piston, or sliding, calipers used by Chrysler back in the day, both were made by Kelsey-Hayes. The A-body used the one that uses the retainer clip to secure the pads.
Remanufactured calipers are available in the aftermarket. Rock Auto has Raybestos remans (FRC4067/FRC4067 ) for $81.04 including core charge. You may also be able to get them at a local big box parts store as 67Dart273 suggests. They have less expensive remans but the jury is out on the vendor's quality.

Befuddled
I know nobody asked but just FYI 73-75 uses a 2.6" piston and 76 and up uses a 2.75" piston, both are interchangeable as far as hose location and mounting style but just make sure you dont mix a large piston caliper with a small piston caliper on the same vehicle, they look identical at a glance. The later large piston calipers seem more readily available at the parts stores.
