Hey chaps. My 1942 Dodge WC mod project is moving slowly, I need to know something. I have a chevy K10 1974 12T open rear diff assembly 6 lug and I need to know if brake hardware is the same for 11.16" drums with 2 3/4" drums and shoes as for 2" drums. I'm guessing it is but can someone clarify. Thanks
Outside of Maybe the length of the pins that go through the backing plate to hold the shoes to the backing plates I am going to say that as long as the drum diameter is the same and the basic shoe design is the same life is good. Then again dig your secret decoder ring out of the sock drawer and study this page a bit. Note" the decoder ring is to make sure that you stay on the correct line (s) for 11 inch brakes and not other sizes. 1974 CHEVROLET K10 PICKUP 5.7L 350cid V8 Drum Brake Hardware Kit | RockAuto The secret Rock Auto cheat sheet to figure out what brake spring kit you need complete with part numbers to cross in town if you don't want to order from Rock Auto.
