    I just got a 1970 F100 parts truck, will these brakes fit on 37 Ford spindles or do I need to go to an earlier year? Thanks

    Not much use for those later 60's to 70's ford brakes except scrap weight.
     
  4. do these brakes ('48-'56) also fit pre '37 spindles???
    the problem is, I am not sure which spindles I got...
    they have this flat on the top, if that helps...

    Thanks guys
    sorry for hijacking the thread
     


  5. what spindles you have is hard to determine without a picture

  7. You can use the shoes and hardware from a 66 on the 53-56 backing plates, which will give you self adjusting brakes as well.
     
  8. that might help:
