Re: 70 1/2 ton 4x4 front brake drums

I don't have a '69 or '70 K-series truck, so I can't say definately what was what. Maybe the D44 was an option.
Not to flame anybody ['cause we're all friends here], but when did you last work on drum brakes, good buddy?
2WD or 4WD, the drum is friction fit onto the lugs [usually 6], sometimes the shoes have to be retracted by reversing the brake self-adjuster pawl to release, but they should slip off. Usually after the gentle persuasion of a BFH.
DonsCST: my '67 K/10 Sub is currently up on jacks while I cannibalize the 12-bolt rear for my '71 Jimmy. When I can get it back on the ground, I'll pull one of the front tires and see if I can lift the p/n stamped on the special early 4x4 drum. Might take a while--
don't hold your breath.
