I'm hunting down parts again and could use a little help. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find the brake return springs for a 37 Ford Big Truck (model 79) with mechanical brakes? I tried a set of car springs but the hooks were too short and interfered with the shoes.
post a pic with some measurements or send me a P.M. if you can. i've got a boatload of truck service parts. i may be able to help.
The 1 ton was the same front axle and back plate as car/pickup just different hubs. But the rear like you probably have was Timken split in the center and all was different. Wheel seals were impossable to find with dimensions, **** Spadaro http://www.****spadaro.com/ saved the day, and probably can help you. I know I have used stuff around but could only identify with pics/dimensions
This truck is 2-ton with a full floating rear axle. the front and rear brakes are identical except for the emergency brake hardware on the rear. Here are some pics of the springs.
