I think they stopped using them after 1950. My vin says I have a 53, but I know the chassis is 50, the engine block is a 53, and the doors are older than 53. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 81 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 81 | Hello Jim,
I'm really new at this. I have no idea what a HUCK style brake is???
Martin | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 829 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 829 | The brake shoes are attached to each other(hinged at the bottom). More modern brake shoes are separate. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 156 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 156 | Martin,
Look at the backing plate where the brake lines attach. Then look for the slots where you adjust the brakes. If there are two adjusting slots, one to the right and one to the left you have huck brakes. If there is only one adjusting slot you don't have huck brakes and your truck is likely newer than 1950. You should also check the vin out as suggested in the previous posts. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 829 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 829 | Good tip, Jim. I had forgotten about the adjusters. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 156 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 156 | Dave, If you give a lazy man a job to do He'll find an easy way to do it.
