Before you buy a rebuild kit, take them off and strip them down first. If the pitting is too bad, you might either want to look at sleeving them or exchanging them for already-rebuilt units.
 
You never need to re-sleeve front calipers as the sealing surface is on the piston, not the body. But it's a good bet you'll need to buy new pistons. As Chris says, best to strip them down first. As I recall, the only difference with seal kits on 4 cyl cars is how the dust boot is retained and a 72 should use the late style.

Got a few days off next week and thinking of replacing seals as the dust ones are shot but I use the car daily so was wanting to get the parts in advance so I can avoid being with out it, hence the reason I was after confirmation of the parts kit I need.

Fair enough. Give Geoff at Wins a call, and he'll mail you out a couple of repair kits..
