Can I take the hardware from any "15" rear brake system on a gm truck and used these peices to complete the emergency brake system? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | You didn,t say what size truck you have & I dont know what "15" means. Any parts from a truck from the same era will fit. Dont go back past 1951. That was a different animal. 
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 28 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 28 | this is a 1/2 ton and has 15" wheels if that part makes any difference. How about a 70's model. Can I use that and will it make any difference if it had 14" wheels. I wasn't sure if the brake drum and components would be the same size for a 15" and 14" wheels.
