Brake adjustment..... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I can't remember if there is a way to adjust the front brakes on our trucks other than with the dial. I thought you could back up and apply the brakes...or is that only for the rear?

oopps!! I'm talking about the front brakes and they are drums.

They should be self adjusting, Houp; assuming everything is in there & in working order.

Thanks man!!! How the hell have you been?

Everything works, I just replaced the wheel bearings, races, brakes and hardware

They will adjust backing up but it's slow if they need much.The auto adjusters were really designed for minor wear adjustment.
