Drum brake parts for 66 c10- kit is missing parts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

msg · 11-16-2019, 01:28 AM

I checked the FAQ section and didnt see a parts list to order when redoing the drum brakes. Mainly the springs are what Im trying to figure out. I had ordered this kit and it looks like its missing some springs I need. The pic Im attaching has my drums before I did anything as a reference shot, and the one to the right is a pic from this page from a great and helpful install page. The parts below on the white background are from the kit I bought here

The site Im referencing for the install
https://pbase.com/nufsed/image/49448880

Can someone help me ID which springs go where and which ones I need to order? Maybe a part # for the ones Im missing?

I did find the one spring that is supposed to be on the strut bar, its missing from the kit and apparently from my brakes as well.

The strut bar and spring can be purchased at napa.

Which spring is which will become easily apparent when you disassemble. I will tell you to make sure you don't lose the anti-rattle spring on the parking brake strut (orange) and the spring on the parking brake lever (red). These are not included in the rebuild kits and can be challenging to find. (ask me how I know... hahah)

*Now that I re-read your post I see you are already missing the anti-rattle spring.

Here is the entire picture and explanation section for that web site:

It would be difficult at best to beat that.

Having that site was great to reference, I did the step for steps and it came out great. One day when I have an engine and a brake system Ill report back.

The parts I had to buy extra than the kit has was that parking brake spring (blue one = H1338-2) mentioned and the adjusting lever return spring (red spring = h2148-2) in my pics. Also that rusty spring in my pics I reused since it wasnt in the AC Delco kit I had bought, but if anyone needs that or the lever or a few other parts the H2509 kit has it. I just didnt want to spring for it.
