The brakes are all original type and all 100% new, except the front shoes. There is no booster and they are all Single Leading Shoe.
It will lock up the rears OK but pedal pressure required is very high. (20" duals)
I believe this is normal- they just need a heavy stomp. You have to drive with stopping power in mind, it just does not stop well, but it will stop.
Feedback please! What are your brakes like? I need to know if there is something wrong or are they just the way they were always meant to be.
