36 Fordor Brake Rods

[Stretch Cab]

Good morning,

My 36 has been apart for way to many years so getting a grip on what was supposed to be isn't always easy.

I'm in the process of restoring the chassis and have the brake rods ready to paint but both are bent and one has a profound bend in it.

Anybody know if the rods are supposed to be straight or bent? I don't want to straighten them for nothing!

 

[TerryOH]

Should be straight!

Super straight & be sure the guides are not creating a curve in rods.

 

[Stretch Cab]

Thank you very much. I will get them straight tonight.

Check for wear in the clevises on all four rods and replace any that are worn. Any wear in any clevis and pin adds up to a lot of wear in the whole brake system, and it will not work well.
