Caliper help needed

I have 69 sonnet 2 that needs some brake help. The calipers have always rattled, I thought the cylinder housing was rattling but did not think it was a serious problem. This year I had problems with the calipers not releasing, a new rubbing vibrating noise (like the pad was in conctact with the rotor and was vibrating against it) and the one wheel would lock up (seemed like the pad would catch and get jammed). I replaced the pads (had a bad pad), the flex hoses, turned the rotors and replaced a few suspension boots. Still no better. I asked Drakenparts about new calipers but they only sell rebuild kits.
My calipers move freely, i think too freely. I could probably use new springs, anti rattle clip and such. Any ideas? Anybody sell new/good condition calipers or the springs and such?
Your help is appreciated.
