We do have the Replacement Caliper for Dexter 10" Brakes # K71-773-01 which is a direct replacement for your Dexter K71-773-01 calipers you have currently if you're just looking for those.

If not, the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC will also work since Kodiak is owned by Dexter and these calipers are also for 10" brakes, rated for 3.5K to 6K axles.
