Spent the weekend giving her new front brakes and bearings, topped off with tires all around. Curious to see how the HF powder coating on the backing plate holds up.  Dropped the R/F wheel cylinder taking the pic and broke the tab off (AARRGGHH!!) Anyone have a Delco-Moraine they're willing to part with? http://s1054.photobucket.com/albums/s483/arfelmcfarfel/66%20Fleetside/New%20shoes/

Do all your brake shoes have the same length of lining on them? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 39 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 39 | JB- My bad.

In your picture it looks like both your brake shoes have the same amount of lining on them, are all of your brake shoes the same? Most of the brake shoes I've installed on trucks as new as yours had a primary shoe (shorter lining), and a secondary shoe. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 237 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 237 | | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 39 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 39 | 3B-
You're eyes don't lie; shoes are the same length. I installed a Raybestos cylinder after breaking the original (imagine my surprise when the $%^&* bleed screw was metric.
Both parts came from NAPA. Live ansd learn.
