Hi Ric, and welcome to Stovebolt! Yes, do keep those adjusters -- they make adjusting the Huck brakes back there easy. And you want it to be easy because you will be doing it a lot wink More, if you drive the truck much. It's not bad, as long as you stay on top of it. I've included below our handy Huck Brake Adjusting Guide. I usually set it off to the side as I sit facing the brake drum. It's mainly for the front brakes. The star wheel rears are so easy to figure out, you don't need the diagram. I use a ratchet box end wrench and its done in a jiffy.

Unless you want to go the girlie-man route and convert to those sissy Bendix brakes ...
