I need to replace brake pads for the TBP front disc brake conversion. I know these are GM style brakes but when going to the parts store is there a particular vehicle I should be looking for the brake pads to be compatible? Thanks!

... GENERIC Parts number . is D52.
LOT'S OF OTHERS WILL DISAGREE with me but I like the Cheapest pad available.
I Like the soft ones very cheapest pads ... It's cool to have the slotted & holes for heat to dissipate. But I say a cheap set of $8.00 pads will stop better & not make noise.
The Best one will make noise & half the time won't stop .. & They'll eat your rotors ........................... ...............................
After the cost of $75.00 pads that chew up your rotors $125.00.. Sure makes a set of $8.00 pads that last 25,000 mile look cheap..
..................
... I base my opinion on the fact I owned a parts store fro 1967 until 1995.. The years our Bronco were new.

Thanks everyone. Found the right brake pads but noticed the rotors for these year vehicles don't match. Do you know what vehicle the rotors are from in case I need to replace in the future?
