Ford or Bendix calipers?
I have a 95 F150 4x4, 351 and auto tranny. I called around to find replacement calipers for my front brakes, and found that there are two different casting numbers for my truck. One is Ford and one is Bendix, and apparently they use the same pads. There is a small price difference, but I'm looking at quality versus cost; these are the brakes after all...
Has anyone had experience with this before? Is one brand better than the other? Will either one fit my application, or do I need to get a particular one?
Thanks, guys!
Steve

Yep I put the no name ones on my beater trucks . I get 60-70000 miles out of them. But I do use Ford pads . I have at least 6 boxes of pads I had on truck to find ones that don't squeel or throw black dust . Also 2 well known ceramic sets . (Like no brakes ) Ended up Ford one did it for me.
