LUCKY BASTAGE!

F44, GT4, JB6, AND G80. Somebody knew what they were doing when ordering that truck. OK, I'm not so thrilled with the likelyhood of an 8.5" rear axle, but other than that you've hit the jackpot.

If that truck happens to have a 9.5" "14-bolt" axle, you should buy a lottery ticket. You'll only need one...


That's gonna be relatively easy, since the 11.x rear drums are wonderful to begin with. All you gotta do is make them work like new, and you're all set.

'Course, "making them work like new" is likely to require a bunch of "new" parts--wheel cylinders, springs, shoes, turned or new drums, rear brake hose, perhaps new brake tubes from the hose to the wheel cylinders, maybe some minor welding on the shoe contact points of the backing plate--they tend to get grooves worn into them.


And that the vast majority of GMT400 trucks (BUT NOT THIS ONE) came with leading/trailing shoe rear drums, and consequently are miles out of adjustment leading to crappy pedal "feel".

@Schurkey . I have the 14 bolt rear!
