Are you talking about how the brake shoes, springs, etc. go together? I looked at my shop manuals and for some reason can't find a good picture of the brake ***embly either. Try this picture, it's from a 1960 Pontiac manual but the parts should be about the same: http://www.PontiacSafari.com/MPC/Pages/page_0383.jpg Also, you can go to http://www.PontiacSafari.com/ and look at factory shop manuals for 1955, 1956, 1957 Pontiacs online (click on the Pontiac Info on the left side of the screen.) Again, they are different years but the parts inside the brake should be about the same. Also, there is some good information on 8 lug brakes here: http://www.teufert.net/pontiac/8lug/8lug.htm
