I had to replace the pads and one caliper on my car. The caliper I got thru a local parts store, the pads I had in my toolbox for the last 20 years. I had actually bought them for a '80 Ford courier (B2000 in disgiuse) but sold the truck before I installed them. Darn near tossed them a few years back, then completely forgot they even existed until just minutes before I went to pick up the caliper. I was looking for something else, and opened the "junk drawer". Took me 10 minutes to remember what they had been bought for, and only remembered after thinking they looked quite similar to the pads for the 7. Kinda funny too, as semi-metallic pads are much harder to locate these days.
To my amazement, they are the same on both vehicles. Guess that means it was fate for me to buy the 7, cause I sure wasn't gonna buy another small truck like that, I got too spoiled to the Nissan King cab I have now.

I got everything from www.rockauto.com. Best prices and excellent service. Saved enough money that I could pay someone else to install them.
