What brake cables do I need?
So I went to rebuild my rear drums this weekend and ran into an issue - I don't know what rear brake cables I need. I have rear drums with leaf springs and a Dana/Spicer 44. A few months ago when I ordered the cables, I looked at Rock Auto and they didn't have any listed for a leaf spring truck so I went to LMC and they had a set listed for 1/2 ton leaf springs, so I bought them. Low and behold, they won't work though.
The holes in my brake backing plates are oblong and the original cables have a pretty substantial bracket that attaches to the backing plate. I was scouring the internet trying to figure it out and stumbled up on K20 cables which have the same bracket. Do I have oddball backing plates? Has anyone else ran into this issue?
