try Performance Friction or Raybestos "Brute stop" (the box is covered with
Nascar logos)
both are carbon metallic.. I run the Brute stops, and they made the world of
difference.. the stock pads couldn't lock up the front wheels (with stock
tires) to save my life (literally- I don't have 4WABS) so I know they were
not working well.
With the Brute stops on there, I can lock up my oversized BFG AT's now, but
equally as important, they engage smoothly so I can do threshold breaking
without looking up a tire

sorry, I don't have any part numbers for your truck... here Autozone carries
the Performance Friction, and almost everybody else carries the Raybestos
(Checker, Pep Boys, Parts America (I think they're changing names again))
