HI all..working on my 76 k-10 shortbed stepside rear brakes (drum brakes,6 lug).problem i am having is everything is rusted up junk (imagine that) when i took both sides apart all four spring hold downs that hold the shoes on fell out..one shoe takes a straight hold down spring,the other shoe takes what i'll call a tapered hold down spring..not sure which one goes on the shoe with ALL the adjustment hardware attached to it?? done a search but with this old slow computer didnt have any luck.. thanks for any help you can give..
