I think you mean you put pads and rotors on your D50. I can't recall anyone mentioning doing a caliper swap when changing the axle so I would assume the pads are fine, as for the rotors I would look up part numbers for the ones you have now and the ones for the axle out of the donor vehicle and compare them. Im sorry I don't have an actual answer just giving you a way you could check for yourself.

You can swap the rotors and use your calipers that are on the truck as long as the D60 you get is a late '95 and up. Early '95 and back they used different steering knuckles, calipers, and 12" rotors. You have the bolt on calipers and 13" rotors on the '96.

Later D60 use bolts to hold the caliper on. Early ones have Tapered pins with rubber in the center of the pins to hold the caliper on.
