Napa can`t find me shoes
I`m doing the rear brakes on my`72 K2500 with a Dana60.They don`t ask what rear or any specific questions pertaining to options with rears/brakes.The shoes they got me are larger diameter,1/4" too wide,and where the pin to hold the e-brake mounts is laminated on both sides where mine aren`t.I take them back and they`re baffled.Going back in years they are all calling for the same part# they gave me.They looked ahead and couldn`t find anything with the same diameter & width.Mine are 11 5/32" x 2 1/2" and all they can come up with are larger diameter and are 2 3/4".Argh!!!This ain`t no Edsel!They are bringing a set of shoes that are 2 1/2" today,but not the same diameter.We`ll see.I managed to get every part neede to do my HO52 yet can`t get brakes for a Dana60 which ws generic and found in Fords,Dodges,IHs...I know the brakes differed.I may end up needing to leave it up on stands awhile and have my old shoes custom re-lined.
