Ok so it is the high speed rear 5.14-1 then why do I have the tag that says 7-36.... Just to let you know I have put about 125 miles on the truck since Friday. The boys ask if we can drive it to everything we go to. Runs great and stops like top...

Here are a couple from the parade..

Well I got it all jacked up and pulled the rear wheel agian.... Shaved a little more off the e-brake. put the hub back on... put the wheels back on adjusted the brakes all the way around...... GOOD TO GOOOOO>>>>>> The brakes engage with about a 1 1/2 inches of pedal depression and stops on a country...

Mike,
if you go to Mac's parts on-line and go to the clutch section on the last page it gives dimensions for the brake and clutch pedal bushings. This is in the car section are they the same as the truck bushings.. OD= .934 / ID= .877... Just checking ... part number B7508..
Thanks Dave....

OK she's on the move again..... just drove it home and the drums are pretty warm right now.. the e-brake is rubbing a little and the service brakes need to be adjusted out so they work.. That is always a great feeling when you don't have them.. should be able to jack it up tommorow and do some more ...

OK for info sake my idea from above did NOT work..... I had to pull the drum off again and grind a little more off. Then I put my piece of 5/8 plate steel from the puller back on and used my big C clamps and kind of pressed the drum on. It is a little tight but I can move the drum. I guess it will w...

Mike,
That rear looks to clean looks like you need to put some miles and dirt on it....
Dave

Vicky,
Before you go crazy trying to make parts you should take a trip to see Mike and his friend you might be able to get teh whole assembly cheaper than making one. Just a thought.
Dave

OK here is a thought?? I have been doing alot of that with this truck project... If I hop the band on the carrier so it is smaller when I go to engage the e-brake will the springs pop it back on the carrier in the right spot???

Dave

Robert,
That would be in the rear hub removal saga from my posting. Something about a BBQ grill under the drum.

OK so I just spent $420 for new liners and have to grind the Emergency liner down and can not get the drum over it. The service shoes are fine but the darn e-brake is killing me... Any thoughts????
Dave

Vicky,
If you need parts you need to hook up with Mike in Maine. He has a "CONTACT".. and can be a great friend.
Dave

Robert,
Welcome to the forum... I guess they must have sprung my band a little when they where putting the new liner on it and I will have to take a little of the tension up by pulling the arm back a little bit when I install it and get ready to hook up the brake rods..
Dave

OK Mike...... SO I got the shoes back... $420 worth.. But they look great.... I have the service shoes installed on the back plate but am having a hard time with the emergency brake band... I have it installed like the photo shows that you sent me but it is bigger than the service brake shoes in dia...

HOLY COW>>>> My wife freaks out if you don't take your shoes off when you come in form working outside.. That would be great... Honey can you go grab those bags of sand for the sandblaster and throw them next to the couch... I'll sandblast during the commercials.... Looks like you have a little more...
