Default brake calipers with slide bolt instead of pins

I have a 1990 f-150. I'm tired of the slide pins for the caliper. Will a caliper from a 94-96 fit my 90.? I believe the 94-96 has bolts instead of pins.

Why are you tired of them? It's not like you have to mess with the brakes all the time, and they work just as well as the bolts.

Because they are a pain in the rear when changing pads.

They come right out. I don't see how anyone would have trouble with them.

Then let me rephrase my question. Will the brake calipers from a 94-96 f150 bolt right on to my 90 f150. I didn't ask to have my reasons questioned.

How would they bolt on? Yours don't have bolts, duh.

Too funny. Unless you changed out the spindles the calipers won't fit.

I thought it was pretty sweet when I realized all I needed was a hammer to change brake pads! Haha.
