Overview
The Baer Brakes D0368 is a set of 4 front brake pads for the 1988–1991 Chevrolet C1500 and K1500 and the 1988–1991 GMC C1500 and K1500 standard cab pickups. It is a Claw pad with part number D0368, built for the front axle of those trucks.
Baer presents Claw pads as an OE replacement with a ceramic friction compound and stainless steel abutment hardware for most applications. The fitment data is qualified by body style and chassis, so the set is meant for standard cab trucks with a standard chassis, and the GMC K1500 entry is further limited to trucks without heavy duty brakes.
Key features
- OE replacement front pads that Baer says offer consistent wear with minimal noise and dust
- Ceramic friction material formulated for low dust and quieter stops
- Slotted pads with a slotted, drilled and zinc plated surface type.
- Stainless steel abutment hardware included for most applications
- Premium grade pad with a black backing plate
Before you buy
Ceramic pads are a common choice for street-driven trucks that see mostly highway and light off-road use. They tend to produce less dust than semi-metallic compounds, and the friction material is gentler on the rotor face during routine stops.
Because this set is for standard cab trucks with a standard chassis, confirm the rotor thickness and brake setup before you commit. Trucks with heavy duty brakes or a different rotor size need different pads, and mixing parts can change how the brakes balance.
- Measure front rotor thickness and check for scoring or heavy grooving.
- Confirm the truck has standard brakes before ordering.
- Keep the front pads and rotors replaced as a matched pair on each side.
- Clean the caliper bracket and slide surfaces during the install.

Vehicle fitment
Manufacturer fitment lists four front applications: 1988–1991 Chevrolet C1500 (standard cab pickup, standard chassis, except SS 454 models), 1988–1991 Chevrolet K1500 (standard cab pickup, standard chassis), 1988–1991 GMC C1500 (standard cab pickup, standard chassis) and 1988–1991 GMC K1500 (without heavy duty brakes, standard chassis).
Not covered: SS 454 models, trucks with heavy duty brakes or non-standard chassis, extended cab or crew cab bodies, and model years outside 1988–1991. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Check rotor thickness before fitting, since the GMC K1500 entry is specifically for 1 inch thick front rotors without heavy duty brakes. Brake lubricant is not included, so have a suitable lubricant on hand for the caliper slide pins and abutment contact points. Abutment clips are included and should be reused or replaced as the job requires, and both front sides should be serviced together.
What’s included
One set of 4 front brake pads with abutment clips and slotted friction faces.
Not included: brake lubricant.
