1958 Apache 38 brakes dragging all around.
Okay, I'll list it out here and hope the organization helps... Truck: 1958 Chevy Apache 38 Problem: brakes dragging badly, heating up wheels and brake drums, all four wheels. Makes climbing hills with this venerable old six rather slow. I mean, I could almost get out and walk faster. What the hell is going on? Is it the Master cylinder, or what?  Happens at the worst possible time, of course... [IMG]  front rt by studeclunker, on Flickr[/IMG]

Re: 1958 Apache 38 brakes dragging all around.
some ideas:
Brake pedal pivot is gummed up and not pulling back up all the way/spring is weak Brake master is gummed up /rusted (but usually they would leak too) All 4 wheels over adjusted all 4 wheels have gummed up wheel cylinders All 4 wheels have rusty brake shoe - backing plate contact areas Does it have an old hydrovac booster under the cab somewhere? it may also be gummed up or the valve to control it is stuck |
