60 through 66 brake shoes
There seems to be a lot of conflicting information regarding brake shoes, drums and hardware on the 60 through 66 1/2 ton trucks. From what I can surmise, all 11x 2 brake drums and shoes both front and rear appear to be the same. Is this true?
The reason for the ask is that I can't seem to find front shoes for my '60. As always, Thanks!! |

Just a quick look on Rock Auto for '60 C10 shows all shoes and drums fit front or rear.

Yes. I looked at NAPA and the front and rear shoes are the same number. I think that ALL those shoes are the same number if they are the same width.

Re: 60 through 66 brake shoes
Way back when I was a poor boy, I used a '61 C10 on a service route. All that city driving with a load really wore the brake shoes out fairly quickly. When I replaced them, I would throw the half decent ones in a crate to re-use them on whatever wheel needed them first, front, rear, whatever I didn't even worry if they were primary or secondary....and that may seem kinda nutty today, but the idea of using a worn out '61 C10 on an urban service route seems even nuttier on todays roads.

Re: 60 through 66 brake shoes
Less wear on a shoe I could see if the shoes had the same amount of lining on them, since the primary shoe would not be worn as much. If that were the case maybe you only needed to change the secondary shoes and the primary shoes half as often! I bought shoes from NAPA and all four shoes have full lining. I guess I could save money by "rotating" the shoes...
