I sent my brake shoes off and got them relined but am having a hard time finding the springs and clips for the shoes.
Called Chevy Duty, they don't stock them for the one-ton. And Brake and Equipment Warehouse in MN is not sure where to find them.
Any help? THANKS | | |

I had the same problem with my NAPCO brakes, couldn't find springs or clips. The brake warehouse in Minneapolis couldn't help me. I tried various advertisers that specialized in old brake parts, no help either. What I finally did was go to a parts store (in my case Checker Auto Parts). I went through every brake springs/fasteners kit and matched my old parts. Then I bought the kits I needed. | | |

The C-clip idea sounds like it should work. Hope to find a spring that will fit as one is already broken.
appreciate the tips. | | |
