I cross referenced brake pads and found that early 1980's F-150 brake pads have the same part number as Mavericks. Although they're no listed for Mavericks, the F-150's have a better selection of brake pads. Has anyone ever tried them?
That is very interesting. I might look further into this. The lack of selection we have for our cars' brake pads has been frustrating to me. Around here I can either get organic pads that dust up really bad, I mean ridiculously, or semi-metallics that squeal no matter how new they are.
Looks like there might be something to this. On rockauto.com I checked out brake pads for an '82 F150. Most of them didn't look right. There were several brake options for that year depending on whether it was 4wd, etc. I cross-referenced the various pads and didn't see anything that would fit a Maverick/Granada until I saw the "4600 to 4700 Lbs GVW" option. Those pads do cross-ref to our cars. Good ol' "D91" pads, same ones listed for us. This makes me wonder if any of the other pads fit. Or perhaps the bigger calipers?
NAPA has disc pads for 80's f-150 with a lifetime warranty, just bought them for my boy. so keep us posted if they fit a mav caliper....
Autozone sells Performance Friction pads for the F-150. I tried to compare them to the D91 pads, but they are a special order part.
