I have seen several trucks like this....What exactly is the reason? http://scroungeman.blogspot.com/ 1947 3/4 ton Pickup

Sort of a vibration damper too perhaps. 1937 Chevy Pickup In the Gallery 1952 Chevy Panel In the Gallery More photos 1950 Chevy Coupe Pictures! I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd. I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you

It took me while to "picture" what you are referring-to. I'll go with Alvin's description. Group 5.810 Shield-Nut-Spring Brake Drum?

Seems like snake oil to me, but they didn't seem to be a problem so I left them on. Attachments brake drum with spring.jpg (31.71 KB, 50 downloads) Marc S Houston TX 1946 Chevy 1/2 Ton
