Juice brakes on a Model A ford

Hello,

I am on a very tight budget these days (who isn't). I was going to give up, but I decide to push forward. One set back after another. I had to scale down my dreams. I figured some Hot Rod is better than no Hot Rod.
I want to put juice brakes on my model A roadster. What recommendations does anyone have (low budget, but I want to be safe)? What would work best on an original Model A front and back axle? Anyone have any photos? I also want to try this because it would be a new challenge for me as well. I have installed juice brakes on willys jeeps, but that is what they had. Never did it from scratch. Would a 150 ford drum brakes work? Would an S10? Need some help and some advice from you pros out there. Any websites I could go to?

Thanks for your time.

Marty

 

Do a search on here. Plenty of information, 39 to 48 Ford brakes. Easy to do and they come up cheap. Rebuild parts readily available from O Reily's auto parts.

 

39 to 48 are Lockheed which are NOT self energizing and not self adjusting
they ****
you can do better

I have posted pictures and details many times.

The HAMB has the most and best info on the web.
Its a shame there is no index

Short story, most cars have Bendix brakes, so the parts all interchange (a**** sizes)

In this pic, the Model A spindles have 1939 Lincoln backing plates with 71-76 Chevy shoes and small parts and 1964 F250 wheel cylinders used with 1940 Ford drums

 

Heres the rear backing plate finished and ready to bolt on.
In this case, I cut out the chevy center of the 1975 Caprice wagon backing plate and welded in a Ford center that I made on the lathe
In other words ANY 12" backing plate will work
Notice the parking brakes and the paint marker identifying the parts for any future owner
