OEM Brake Pads (1986 Pickup)?

[G-Cat]

Does Toyota not make front brake pads for my 1986 4x4 Pickup Truck?

I've tried to order, twice, from online Toyota parts suppliers, only to have the total refunded a week later with no explanation.

If no Toyota, what are y'all using?

It could be that they are no longer available, but that seems odd for a common part like that.

I completely re-did all the brakes in my truck last Fall, and I used these pads:

Amazon.com: Hawk Performance HB311F.591 HPS Performance Ceramic Brake Pad: Automotive

Note these are for the larger piston V6 calipers, but this is a good brand, I can really tell a difference. They took awhile to get bedded in, but now they work very well, I will use this brand again on all my vehicles.

ebc and hawk both make great street-oriented pads

I've ordered those. They refund my purchase a week later. It's happened twice.

Make sure to find a semi metallic pad. In a dumb moment, I bought the truck/SUV EBC pads for my tow rig. They lasted a whole 500 miles until they glazed over and I lost my brakes. Because of the money wasted, I now have a severe hate for EBC products. Organics are terrible and have no place on a truck.

Good example of a semi metallic pad to run is a Raybestos SPM137m.

Also note that many parts are interchangeable on these trucks. I run '90s 4Runner calipers with 100 series land cruiser pads on my '86. Pretty easy to make it all work.
