Hello, looking for a set of stock anchor and pin new rear brake shoes. I see them threw 52 , but that is it , will the earlier years work on a 53 ? Looked to be about the same size.

Simple answer is no. There was a change around 1953 from Huck brakes to Bendix brakes. Both types are readily available for 1/2 ton trucks. Classic Parts, Jim Carter and many others.

1951 was the first year for Bendix.
