Default Brake Calipers

So got my front wheel off my truck and after watching a bunch of YouTube stuff on brakes expected to get the front drivers caliper off but it’s different
i have a 1994 F150 XLT 4x4 as a project and these calipers are actually bolted on
I am guessing these are aftermarket and would really like to go back to original for the truck

No, you've been watching videos about the older calipers that bear the load of braking. Your truck has the later floating calipers, which mount to a bracket that takes the braking load directly from the pads. The photos, diagrams, & captions in this album explain almost everything about the brakes:

The more of it you read before proceeding, the easier the job will be, and the better the brakes will perform.
