1951 3/4 ton´s rear wheel cylinders are leaking and one of the drums was completely frozen when it got here.
so looks like its time for my first drum rebuild.
found a good thread in the archives and looks like the job breaks down into.
-rebuild the wheel cylinders
-turn the drums
-replace the shoes
-replace rusty springs
found the parts i need at jim carter but the shoes with new linings are about 140 a pop. wanted to know if i can clean up my old ones and get them relined? also any general tips on old drums.
this site has been really useful.
thanks
