Fc single piston brake calipers

So I’ve searched and haven’t found what I was looking for. I’m sure this has been gone over a million times. However I’m about to buy my first fb in 20 years and it has a locked up front brake caliper. It’s been swapped over to front and rear gslse brakes. I know that rebuild kits are available but I can’t find any front calipers for it available. The car is quite a bit away from me and for simplicity I was wondering if the sing piston fc front calipers work on a gslse brake setup. I was just gonna go down and pick it up and swap calipers and drive it home. Would save me some time vs rebuilding it on the side of the road.

The second gen calipers are not a direct fit and takes a custom bracket that is hard to come by.

I recommend towing it. If the caliper is seized from lack of use, do you really want to chance driving it a long way home? Could have other running issues.
