Title: rear brakes assembly on 79 C-10
Post by: RLrick on May 29, 2004, 10:29:00 PM
its been quite a while since i last did brake work on my truck and again i got people telling me different things again so ill ask yall the same question cause know i admit it........i just cant remember myself

on the back brake shoes,you have a shoe with a short lining and one with a longer lining.  which shoe is the forward one and which is the rear one.

ive been told both ways and when i took my drum off today the short one was up front and the long one on back.  is that right or is it the other way around.

man im glad i found this site hehe.
