ok..there are 4 pads...
are they supposed to be matching pairs?
or
should 3 look the same and 1 looks different?
I am going to do my brakes today..amongst other maintenance...by myself...so if the pads are screwy, I'd
rather wait until I have all the right pads with me..
Thank you

They all look the same, with wear indicators mounted on the "inside" pads on each wheel.

Here's the shape:

Sorry that's so small, but that's all I could come up with.

1963 Galaxie front pad. Sure you didn't get the parts mixed up?

I'm sure, since the Galaxie had drums on all 4 corners.
You're getting senile in your old age.
