    Does anyone know if there is a difference between D91 and D50 (Bendix) or comparable Raybestos etc both say they fit 1983 F150 (which also cross references with our cars). The only difference i can see is one is riveted and the other appears to be bonded.Of course I'm only going by pictures on Rockauto - I went to Bendix site and cant find actual dimensional drawings or spec for them--unfortunately i don't have access to knowledgeable parts counter guys to ask them to pull out the 2 to compare- I want to "upgrade" the pads to a good ceramic for daily driving-but have them readily accessible for maintenance. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.

    Raybestos website says the F150 used 11" x 2.25" shoes....the Maverick/Comet uses 9" and 10" shoes

    The D91 is correct for our Front Disc Brake Pads, you can check out eBay "Ford Maverick D91" and you can see the different types, I purchased a set of "semi-metallic", but the ceramic would be another option.
