The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline brakes on 54 chevy 3600 HELP!!

I cant find an anchor pin for my 54 chevy 3600. does anyone have any ideas on what I can do

Hy horsegirl, according to my parts books that part was used on 3/4 tons at least up to 1962, o.e.m. p/n 3702221 same part front and rear 3 1/4" long, hope that helps,

Are you talking about the anchor pins for the brake shoes. I just got mine at Napa. It was a hardware kit that had the right lenght pins. You get new springs, washers,and return springs.
Hope this helps.

I also have a 1954 3600. I think this ( see photos ) is the part your looking for.
I have collected every single part for my brakes GM NOS, front & rear.
If you need any other photos of brake parts, just ask, I'll post them up to my brake parts album on photobucket.

I take photos of every part I buy.

If you look at the middle photo with the bluish background color.
I think ebay seller: washprotim , had them on sale about a month ago on ebay. You can search ebay by seller name. I don't recall if they sold on ebay.

see photobucket album, below:

yes!!! that is what I need. thank you for the picture now I at least know what I am looking for

did you put the ebrake in your truck? I am considering not putting it in because a don't have the hardware for it.

thank you that is good to know

Horsegirl, Check out the photos @ photobucket.

Photos show used 1954 Chevy 3/4 ton Parking Brake Parts.

I think you need to locate a '54 truck thats being

parted out or one in a junkyard & get what you can get.

I've checked my sources for nos parts...no luck.

These brake parts are kinda scarce.

Lucky for me, I collected nos parts years ago.

you are right these parts are very hard to find! I think I will just not put the park brake in I haven't seen anything that looks like those parts anywhere. I did find the anchor pins finally at a salvage yard and I also got the springs for the front brakes but the rear ones were already gone (everything except the anchor pins was gone in the back) did you get your springs new and if so where?

horsegirl,

I found my springs years ago & they are GM nos. See: photobucket photos below. I only like GM NOS parts.

ask for parts dept... ask for Betty in parts dept.,

I do see some springs on ebay occasionally.

Right now if you search on ebay, use this search phrase:
