Sucsess

I know that at some point in this trucks lifetime the entire drive train was replaced with that of a 1962 1/2 ton pickup. One thing that I am not sure of is if the rear brakes are from a 53 or 62. I believe the rear brakes are from a 62. I was surprised to learn that the rear brakes on a 62 match the front brakes on a 53. I can only ponder that this is either serendipity or someone along the lines was extremely smart. I don't know if my grandfather was the one to swap the drive train or if it was a previous owner. Luckily most parts I have had to order so far are parts that would work for either year of truck. I was able to rebuild the drivers rear wheel cylinder yesterday. I am hesitant to dismantle the passenger side rear brakes just invade I need to look at them to see how the springs go on. I was told today that the springs and adjusters from a 1969 Chevy pickup will work on my truck. The 69 adjuster is a self adjusting mechanism so that would be nice. And it is all inside the drum so no one would be able to tell that it wasn't stock. Sounds good to me but I think I will do a bit more homework before I buy a set of 69 adjusters.
