Farmer brown removed all the ebrake hardware in the drums. I have a 65 rear end with every thing I need. But, its the auto adjusting type. Is there any reason why I can't run it? Everything seems to lining up fine. Just having a hard with the little spring keeper on the rear shoe as you can tell it's not there yet. Still have to install new seals.

1st pic is the donor 65 12 bolt setup
2nd pic is 55 10 bolt with no ebrake hardware
3rd pic is 55 with 65 hardware

Thanks

You have the shoes on backwards but the hardware is correct. Long shoe in the back short goes in front.

It's been a long time since I've rebuilt drum brakes, but I still can't believe I didn't notice that. Thanks for the info. I guess I was paying too much attention to the springs. I will fix it to night.

I still do that, I even put small on one side and bigs on the other.
