Lost my pictures.

Mine is for 1/2 ton pickup. I think that part is simular. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,706 back yard wrench turner | | back yard wrench turner Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,706 | Ralphie, Does this work? E brake

One thing i discovered was my rear break drum assembly was missing a cross piece between the break shoes -at the top near the wheel cylinder. It is so that as the cable pulls the rear shoe this cross piece pushes the front shoe against the drum. I was able to find the piece. Without this it did not work. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 18 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 18 | Many thanks.

What proportioning valve did you use? how chosen? I used 2, 2lb valves for the front disc brakes. I used 1, 10lb for the rear brakes. I chose based on cheapest price on ebay.

That is the distribution block. I don't have a proportioning valve in my setup.
