No self adjuster for 1962??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all,

After tearing down my rear drum brakes I noticed there was no self adjuster and cable. Looking at the LMC catalog, there is a kit offered but it is only for 64-66. Being new to this year of truck is that how it was back in the day?

That's right. Self adjusting brakes started in 63 on passenger cars. Trucks 64?

Wanna watch a slideshow?

I think you can add them to the 60-62 drums.
