Re: 1951 Chevy 3800 rear brakes

I have had very good luck with LMC http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/ca/full.aspx?Page=89

But on parts like that, my local real parts store has most anything I need in stock, this place is amazing!

Rockauto.com appears to have the cylinders.

You could pretty easily have your shoes relined if there is a shop close to you.

If I remember right, the drums and shoes and such are not too easy to find if you have an Eaton 10 bolt.

You may only find used. A lot of people switch to a 14 bolt for that reason I believe. (At least for a 1 ton C&C, flatbed etc.)

Maybe post in the WTB or over on Stovebolt.com to see if someone has swapped to disc and has some used parts laying around.

Well guys, I had assumed this was abassman's thread so it is him I had address my comment to. I can see how it could be confusing and I apologize for that. So, having said that, abassman check your mail box. Clay
