Need some help. First, can anyone post a pic of rear brake shoe set up so I can see what I'm missing?
Second, it appears I need a set of park brake strut levers and possibly the top straight flat lever that connects to each shoe if that's even needed.
I redid all lines, drums,pads,master cyl,cables etc and now need the levers to connect the cables so I have e-brake.
Where can I find these new? Many thanks...phil | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Make, year, model truck?
As far as you know, are all parts original style?

It's a 53 3100. I was informed here that the rear is a '55-'62 HO33 from a 1/2 ton truck. It seems that all parts I orderd online for a 53 fit. Cables, shoes, drums, etc so I am assuming I need the 53 ones, or I could try to find 55-62 possibly?
Either way, they seem hard to find.
Phil

Brake shoe strut is shown; and, the the parking brake spreader/lever is shown. Check part numbers to find the years in which part(s) were used. | | |
