Hi guys - I have two sets of brake pads in my shed - both look the same, but there's a rogue - single pad that is small. I'm wondering if it even goes to my truck (which my fiance' is driving today & I couldn't even look at). Besides, why jack up a truck on my shaky peastone driveway when the guys at DiscoWeb always have the answers! So again - are the front pads same as the rear? -JA   Paul T.

The front ones have two holes at the top for the pins to attach to the caliper. The rear ones have a tab at the top.   Joseph C (Condorwatch2) New Member Username: Condorwatch2 Post Number: 20 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 11:21 am:    and like most vehicles, the rear pads are smaller than the front ones.
