Yes, mine is a ’50, 3604. It’s been five or six years since I re-did all of the brake
work Jim, but I did a lot of research on that return spring. It just didn’t look right
to me, a bit lacking in design but I believe that was the way the ¾ ton return
spring was attached. I did some work on a friends ’50 ½ ton and the brake rod did
have a tab welded on it that the spring hooked into and there is no link like on the
¾ ton, so I don’t think you can compare the two. Although it’s kind of a half
asrsed setup, so was the throttle wire retaining the throttle link to the Rochester B
and I thought the same thing about that, but it’s worked as I said, for the last 63
years on my truck.
