Paul and neon,
After your helpful post I got a brake hose from my local parts store for $13.00.
I disassembled the brake assembly, honed the cylinder, cleaned everything, packed bearings, adjusted shoe-to-drum and the brakes work wonderfully!
I have pictures of my 1938 1.5 ton on "big bolts" for everyone to see. Stovebolt.com is a great find! Lot of helpful enthusiasts here and I am enjoying this whole experience very much. A big thank you to all members.
Paul and Neonman...you guys rock! Thanks for fast help!
Tony
