Just my POV, I'll be installing factory type front disc on my 67 and 68, and not look back.

You can use D153 on calipers that use D52 pads. They were light duty 3/4 ton pads on pickups in the 70's and 80's. They have a little more surface area than the D52's.

Keep up the great work!!!
thanks, that's where i'm leaning too. i'll look into the D153's, i am intrigued.
