E Eater Junior Member Jan 31, 2011 #1 The truck is a '33 but the brake is not original, I would like to go by part to fix it but I have no idea where to start. Thanks

E Eater Junior Member Jan 31, 2011 #4 Great, Thanks! The NAPA guy did not even want to start to help me with it.
PeteVS Well-known member Jan 31, 2011 #5 Your '33 truck was born with mechanical brakes and somewhere along the way got converted to (what I think are) '39 - '42 brakes. (I'm saying this 'cause I think '46 - '48 would have the cotter pins at the bottom of the shoes?) Attachments Flathead_Brakes_passenger_1939to42.jpg 79.3 KB · Views: 17

Henry/Kokomo Well-known member Jan 31, 2011 #9 I vote '39 to '42 also. Got 'em on the back of my '46 (not sure why).
