1949 chevy 3100

Do I need any kind of special tools to replace all pads and hardware on this huck system? Looks like I see some rivets?... Better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks guys

Huck brakes are much easier to work on than Bendix brakes. I can't think of any special tools required, but then I usually don't used specialty tools for much of anything, and get by with vicegrips, channel locks, screw drivers, hammers, and cuss words.

New brake shoes are bonded to the metal part of the shoe. You can get replacements from local parts house like NAPA. They might want a core so give them your old ones. No special tools required. Only tricky part is removing the funky locking washers on the Huck system. A flat blade screw driver will work just fine. Only bend them until they slip off. Hard part is getting the pin clear from the backing plate. It can be done, just.

Ok I'm missing a pin and I'm unsure on where to find one. .. it's the bottom one with the spring in this diagram that holds the two brackets together on one side. So fast looks like I'll need a drum also. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Will these wheel cylinders fit my truck?

My best guess, car not truck. The MC looks different.
The rear wheel cylinder looks like this:http://www.classicparts.com/1947-52-Wheel-Cylinder/productinfo/71-141/#.VNOb7kfF9mM
The front wheel cylinder looks like this:http://www.classicparts.com/1947-50-Wheel-Cylinder-Front-EW3406/productinfo/71-105/#.VNOchEfF9mM
And the Master Cylinder(MC) looks like this:http://www.classicparts.com/1947-50-Master-Cylinder-1_2-Ton/productinfo/71-205/#.VNOc10fF9mM
New Brake shoes look like this:http://www.classicparts.com/1941-50-Brake-Shoes-Front-Rear/productinfo/71-011/#.VNOdGEfF9mM
And the front drums if needed look like this:http://www.classicparts.com/1941-50-Brake-Drums-Front-1_2-Ton/productinfo/71-408/#.VNOdUEfF9mM
While the rear look like this:http://www.classicparts.com/1941-50-Brake-Drums-Rear-1_2-Ton/productinfo/71-409/#.VNOdl0fF9mM
But you can repair a lot of the wheel cylinders with these: Front http://www.classicparts.com/1947-52...3_4-Ton/productinfo/71-171/#.VNOd30fF9mM
and rear http://www.classicparts.com/1947-50-Wheel-Cylinder-Kit-Rear-1_2-Ton/productinfo/71-181/#.VNOeFUfF9mM
You might use this to fix the MC: http://www.classicparts.com/1941-50-Master-Cylinder-Kit-1_2-Ton/productinfo/71-255/#.VNOeTEfF9mM
You can get these: http://www.classicparts.com/1947-52-Huck-Brake-Anchor-Pin-Lock-Clip/productinfo/71-514/#.VNOemkfF9mM
And you might find that pin in the "Parts for sale" forum. There are other vendors for the parts. This vendor has good pictures to help you as you try to find what you need. Just ask for "Huck" brake parts. I don't know if any one is making the pin so look at the parts for sale.

Thanks Steve I'm also having a very hard to finding the pins? That screw into the wheel cylinder adjusters. .. seems they don't come with the rebuild kit which I find VERY weird. ...

I got my rebuild kit from NAPA. It had new cups but no "pins" I just cleaned up my old ones. If yours are gone try the parts for sale forum. Some one will have something.
