Self adjusting Rear Brakes?
 
I have a 63' truck, in 64' they added self adjusting rear brakes. Is this something I can just add to my 63' rear end, or are more changes nessessary? thanks

I added them to the rear brakes of my 1960 as well. Just look at a manual for correct assembly, or that information might be included in the kit. I seem to remember you also needed the brake shoes from the self adjusting application - like one shoe was longer or shorter, or had an extra hole or something. It's been about 10 years so I don't remember for sure.

Don't worry about the hole for the self adjuster. Replacement shoes have had it for a very long time. If the shoes on your 63 have ever been replaced they will very likely have the hole.

I've got them on the front and rear of my '61. I haven't added discs up front yet, but need to.
It does have a dual reservoir conversion though.

I found this thread searching this topic.
I wasn't aware they were also available for the fronts.
