What brand of replacement brake parts do you guys recommend? I'm going completely through my '59 Chevy 36 (3/4 ton). I do not want any China or Mexico parts on mine! Thanks as always.

I try to find vendors that sell items from USA and Canada, Mexico is okay. The Chinese metals are still substandard in my opinion. Some of the real auto parts places still carry quality parts. It may take some shopping.

I find CARQUEST brake linings to work real good. Some of the linings you get now take a lot of pedal pressure to stop. There parts are good also.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
