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

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. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=203698

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...

Re: JB1 JB3 JB5 JD3 JD5 What is all this
It was strange for me as well. I have always seen 3 digit codes. That's why I came to you guys.
