SWEET Sergeant At Arms: Old Dominion Stovebolt Society BUNS?!?!?!Where we're going, we don't need no buns.....1950 GMC 450 1951 Chevy 1/2-TonThe GreenMachineIn the Stovebolt Gallery | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Im not sure what you mean by "shorter". The 50 on back 1/2 tons used Huck brakes. 51 up used Bendix type. They are 2 completely different animals. I dont see how they could can have 47-52 in one size. I dont have photos handy but if you posted a photo of what you have one of the Stovebolters will know rightb off what it is.
