Rear brake upgrade cheap
Just upgraded the rear brakes on my truck and thought info would be usefull to others.
Backing plates 1981 GMC 2wd 11x2 3/4 w/wheel cyls: free New shoes 1981 GMC 2wd (JB5 brake sys): 39.98 Advance Hardware kit: 6.38 Advance Rear drums 1981 GMC 4wd (six lug): 29.97 (60.00) Autozone #8846 Just did my brake a year ago and was never really happy with them, last month the axle seal started leaking which really caused problems and knew there had to be a better way other than spending hundreds of dollars for an upgrade kit with 5 lug axles. I am running 15" steel toyota rims, don't think stock rims will clear.

Re: Rear brake upgrade cheap
Interesting, I wonder if something similar can be done to the fronts?
