JB1 JB3 JB5 JD3 JD5 What is all this

I am putting a crossmember out of a 84 c-10 that had a 6.2 desiel into my 69 c-10 and I am wondering whick of these above codes would match up to the brakes

the brakes look kind of beefy and I can wait to see the difference in the discs vs the drums.

Re: JB1 JB3 JB5 JD3 JD5 What is all this

I have the same problem.

How do you figure out which booster to use?

I am putting a 1984 cross member from a C10 into my 69. had no intention to change the rear drums yet.

Any thoughts about JB3 vs JB5?

JB3 BRAKE, POWER, DISC/DRUM, 4600 LBS
JB5 BRAKE, POWER, DISC/DRUM, 6400 LBS

In this case I think bigger really is better.

I'd just opt for the JB5 system.

I agree with Keith. Go with the JB5 system.

BTW

JB3 is the 1" thick rotors
JB5 is the 1.25" thick rotors

And let me add that pads are the same, but calipers and spindles are different. Been there, done that.

Re: JB1 JB3 JB5 JD3 JD5 What is all this

JB3 has a single diaphragm booster
JB5 has a dual diaphragm booster and slightly larger (wider or larger dia) brake shoes.

Re: JB1 JB3 JB5 JD3 JD5 What is all this

learned something new. I have never seen the 4 digit RPO codes on the spids.

Nice to know that there is dummy character so that they are still the "normal" codes...

It was strange for me as well. I have always seen 3 digit codes. That's why I came to you guys.
