It seems that from all my digging on posts that there should be an emergency brake carrier and linings on my 29 CCPU but I see no evidence that there is such an animal!It simply has the service brake shoes...no emergency brake shoes or even carrier for them on the rear of my truck.Is this common or did all trucks in 1929 have them?Could it be that that my truck had them removed by a previous owner or did some trucks come without them?Specific info on this issue would be greatly appreciated.BTW in Snyders catalog detailed breakdown also seems to assume that all rear brakes for this model had a set of emergency brake shoes and carrier for them.Is my situation common or unique?TIA for responses

What is the date on the drivers side firewall,should be very early 28,what is the engine number,if original to the vehicle.
 
Fred,

I sure hope you know how to post photos,...cause were going
to need them!
Pull the floor boards out for the photos, as well as the underside
of the truck.

4-5 photos would be a lot easier than 40-50 questions...
 
Have you got an emerency brake lever in the cab ? If yes Is it by the door post or on top of the transmission. As DJ above say's pictures needed of your brake system!!

Very often these parts are missing , but not to difficult to find at swap meets.

Two modus for truck creation: Chassis done by Ford at Rouge, usually as a commericial chassis and sent out with all the attendant parts to the subassembly plants where it was put together by minions. My truck is of this ilk.

Another modus was a bit lower in the tree with parts provided to dealerships, and they would "create" a truck for sale using unutilized mechanic shop help.

This latter might use any chassis they had around, including an earlier chassis.

Thus your date code on the firewall might include chassis parts from considerably earlier.

And not to say that parts might have been transferred by a prior owner from one truck (full size perhaps?) to a later small chassis.

We are talking the 1930's here. Bread lines, soup kitchens, and cash short society.
