Brakes came off a '73 A-Body and was told that they were fully functional but I decided to just rebuild them now to avoid any future problems. As I was replacing the pistons I noticed that one of the calipers had been repaired in the past as the piston was not original (Stamped Ford on the bottom) and the inside of the caliper appears to have been sanded down lightly previously. Adding on, the piston itself has small scratches showing how it had been rubbing to some degree within the caliper. I know the pictures aren't that great but I just want to know if I should just slap everything together, try to bore them out a little bit, or just get re-manufactured set from one of the big auto parts stores? There don't appear to be any noticeable burrs when I rub my fingers on the pitted areas.
Thank You in advance

.. anyways, thank you to everyone who responded, I really appreciate the help. For the record, pretty much everything that could be replaced (pistons, seals, hoses etc.) around the calipers is getting replaced, and I'm using 11.75" rotors from a '78 cordoba so im trying not to skimp on anything while still keeping it somewhat "original" to make replacement parts easier to find. I hope to have these in by the end of next week so I can go break some other parts on my dart
