nufsed on chevytalk.com 60-66 forums put up these pics of the internal rear drum parts:

my parts look the same - the rod is the same shape and length...
I am thinking maybe I was doing something wrong, which is very possible... or the parking brake lever while attached to the brake shoe is not doing it's full range of movement...
what is the range of movement for the parking brake lever when it's attached to the shoe? Does it stuff in all the way behind it, or what?
Thanks...
