Yes I order from there,they are back ordered. Napa has no part number. Is there another year that will work? I don’t have any old part to try and match up. Any other suggestions.
Thanks

Check out this offering (not mine) for the Bendix brake spring kit you are looking for. Complete kit for front and rear, so if not all is needed, spare parts for later. thumbs_up It's pricier than the one Phil posted, but says they have 10 kits in stock.

Hope this may be of help. smile

Please search using this wording: drum brake hardware kit
Auto Zone has them for like $10 for 2 wheels. I bought a set there about 2 months ago and it was just fine.

Best I can recollect, all 1/2 ton chevy used 11x2 Bendix brakes front and rear with the same hardware from 1951-1962. From 1963-1970, 11x2, same hardware with self adjusters. This hardware can be used to convert earlier years to self adjusters. 1971-72, 11x2 used only on rear. Same 11x2 Bendix hardware was also used on similar year GM sedans and Corvair trucks. Also was used on F##d products.
