All the parts places I've looked at say they use the same shoes. RockAuto says the wheel cylinders are different.
From the outside the drums don't look the same. The posi axle does have Bendix brake parts as most Dana/Spicer axles do. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | I know you can use the Chevrolet (Eaton) shoes and wheel cylinders with the Spicer drums. I don't know about the park brake though. Spicer backing plate takes a unique cable which I could not find so I left off the park brake and fabricated plates to cover the holes. | | |
