tombo Apprentice T Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 30 Sunny New Mexico	Hi Folks, I'm putting rear brakes on a '52 GMC 1/2 ton. The old ones were removed before I got the truck. One shoe has a larger (longer) bit of its circumfrence covered with friction material. Does this shoe go to the front of the wheel or the rear? are the front shes done in a similar fashion, or are they all 4 the same? Thanks, Tom :confused:
