It has been a while since I tore it apart and now I'm having trouble getting it all back together. I'm hoping I haven't lost any parts:( I have seen drum brake diagrams before but I can't seem to find them on here. Does anyone know where I can find the "piece by piece" layout for a drum brake for a 58? Last edited by Woogeroo; 12/30/2009 12:16 AM.

They are invaluable in putting things back together. This is for the rears on a 1966 half ton: http://www.pbase.com/nufsed/drumbrake Take away the emergency brake pieces and the self adjuster and it should be pretty close, but I won't swear to it. some more '66 style manual images: http://picasaweb.google.com/Woogeroo/1966c10styleebrakes# Get a shop manual, you won't regret it. I'm guessing you'd need a '55 2nd series and a '58 supplement... or they made a a lot of changes in '58... so you might could get away with only the '58 shop manual. Maybe someone with more experience with those models will stop in and shed some light on this for us. -W

I will get my new manual in 5-10 days, which is too long of a wait when I have to go back to school in a few days. Not to mention, it's like 5 degrees here Idaho Last edited by REAL_RAT_FINK; 12/31/2009 6:58 AM. "Effective leadership is putting first things first.

Well, its not 58, but those diagrams do help a bit. I would imagine the brakes are very similar. "Effective leadership is putting first things first.

And it does have the diagram you need. "It's just a phase. He'll grow out of it." Mama, 1964 1956 Chevy 1/2-ton 3100 1953 Chevy 6100 "The Yard dog" 1954 GMC Suburban Now with a new proud owner.
