Chey:

IINM, Jim Carter\'s has 1 ton brake parts.

My FLAPS has quite a few of the parts (or can get them) and the cost was about the same.

You will probably need shoes, cylinders, hoses and lines. I replaced everything but the drums (they got turned) on mine. I don't screw around with brakes. If you'll pardon the pun, there's too much riding on them.

Also, somthing to think on, some time in 1953, they swapped the brake type on the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks from Huck-type to Bendix-type. Make sure you get the right parts. If you need help identifying your brake type, take a picture of your brake harware (sans drum) and post a link to it. We can tell you what you have.

One more thing: The stock drums are more than enough to stop my old truck. I looked at a front disc conversion, and it looked like an awful lot of work for not much gain (and the possibility of huge problems). I am perfectly happy pulling the wheels off and adjusting my shoes a few times a year.
