Did 1963 C10/C20 pickups have auto adjust brakes?

Yes, they do. What does that mean, those parts are extra? Good? Bad? Should I use them?

I figured the guy was in the process of doing a brake job, just never finished. Don’t know if he was going to install those parts; when I got the truck it was totally assembled and driveable. Just that the brakes did not work that great.

When I looked at the front brake shoes, they were almost like new. I replaced them anyways, since I had the parts.

So, should I leave it the way it is or try and use those adjuster plates?

I can get pics tomorrow.
