Re: Pads too tight to slip on rotor question

In the 80's a truck could be had with I think was called a heavy duty brake option or a regular or light duty option. The heavy duty is the same as the older years but the light duty had narrower drums in the back and thinner rotors up front, only an inch thick instead of the old 1 1/4. This makes the caliper different too. There is a way to tell by the brake hose mount because the brake hoses are different too but it escapes me what is what. one hose end looks like a rectangle and one is square but I cant remember which for sure. I think the square is light duty. hope this helps
