Check the "Links" link in the menu var at the top of the page and look under "Parts." Most of the major parts suppliers carry all the brake parts you need (American Classic, Jim Carter, Kanter, etc). I recently goot wheel cylinders for my '49 1-ton no problem.
What is your truck and where in VA are you? We have pretty good covereage in central and northern VA. A little sparse in Norfolk/VA Beach area or DeMarVa.
Welcome aboard!

I have a 52 gmc 3/4 ton that was parked in 1984 has some cancer but i know i can get it going all original and everything is working so far except the brake systems. i also have a 49 chevy 3/4 ton 5 window but it is in worse shape the frame is rusted out for starters and the rear brakes are seized bad on it too i had to shatter one drum on the gmc and im sure i will have the same problems on the chevy so i dont even want to try. i would like to attend one of your events in virginia dont know if you ever have any in richmond or fredericksburg but im only an hour and a half from those two cities. thanks and look forward to meeting you guys. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 1,418 ODSS Lawman | | ODSS Lawman Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 1,418 | Welcome!!

Jim here in Bowling Green, VA. Not too far. My truck came to me as a basket case. It's now got body panels (although rotted) on it and I am in the "shake down" phase before considering painting it.
Welcome aboard.

Huck rears are different from the fronts, NOT interchangeable at least for a 1/2 ton. Plenty of good reading here... We are doing a winter (in January) junk yard tour and the place we're going to does have some AD trucks, they are 1/2 tons so find out if the drums are the same. Wait, if you're 3/4 ton that's 8 lug, right? regards, Cosmo

I live about 10 miles from you- about 2-3 years ago I replaced my 3/4 ton axles with a 1/2 ton front axle and S-10 rear so I could get disc brakes. I gave away the axles and huck brakes, which all worked fine. I gave away the 8 lug wheels and tires, too. I'd rather see someone bring an old truck back to life than try to sell them. Sure wish I had waited, or you had needed them sooner. Best of luck, and hope to see you around the northern neck area sometime.
Also- I lived in Bowling Green from '91-2000, then F'burg from 2000 till '05. Lots of bolters in the area.

But I am aware of some folks using brake parts (drums and backing plates) from a 14 bolt on the H052 and H072 rears. Might want to check that out. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 7 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 7 | darn missed out on a few good deals... oh well did find a damaged frame with all my brake parts going to get it early December so hopefully I will be driving her around shortly after... got the engine running good just on seperate fuel system.. bits and pieces she is getting there.
