are those U-bolts factory? my 68 had them going the other waywith the top being squared off & nuts on the bottom under a rust collecting plate.

custom67gmc · 04-19-2005, 12:11 AM

as far as i know it is factory, but i also thought most trucks of this era came with trailing arms and coil springs?

Hey:

I notice that the under bed pic shows a finned brake drum...or are my eyes
misleading me? Can you get finned drums somewhere? Bye the bye
I have a 69 C10 pickup with drums all around. It seems to me that finned
drums would be better at heat dissipation.

i am planning on working on the truck tonight, i will take a look at the drums for you, i plan on doing o four wheel disc converson in the furture, so the drums would be availble to someone if they wanted to buy or trade for a disc setup.

custom67gmc · 04-19-2005, 10:54 PM

only the rear drums are finned on my truck, had a hell of a time getting them off though, which is making me want a disc setup quicker
