I'm putting new bake shoes on my 57 6500 but broke a brake return spring. Anyone have a source for a spring kit or will I have to find them from a parts truck?

I take it is the rear. I have an old Napa catalog at the shop. I can look it up tomorrow. The dementions might help. Im not sure they list them by application but it has pictures with the sizes.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Hy tri5trucking, if your brakes are the Wagner type, four springs two different lengths then the kit for one wheel is
Raybestos p/n H605 $8.77 at Rock Auto
Napa p/n UP82487, I couldn't get a price unless I put in a store location, but I guess you can pick the closest to you. If you have the Bendix brakes, four springs all the same, short barrel type just let us know and I'll look those up for you, hope that helps.

Dorman Products are sold just about everywhere. When I was in the servicw garage business we used a lot of their stuff. Google it.

Looks like a found a complete kit at Napa for $25 for both sides. The pictures look like the correct parts. It came up on the computer for 70's C6500 series. Guess I'll know when it arrives. Thanks for the info.
