Howdy folks.
So, I recently actually had to perform the rear brake job on this truck... and I learned something is different from my '65 c10, the hard way.
That circled area there, that is the 'hook' looking thing that the parking brake thingy hooks into that triangle slot in the brake shoe. You have to hold it and the shoe away from each other, then it slides right in, easy as pie, then you slide 'em together to lock it in place. It is a simple wiggle/parts dance thing, if you know to do this. If not, it's kinda irritating.
Then the two parts shoe and park brake lever are nice and flush.
This was making me crazy the other day... I had a book on it and everything... and watched a internet video too! They both failed to mention this.
So, anyways... in case someone in the future is wondering 'what!!?' and they wander in here, I add this little tid bit.
On my '65 C10, that part has a clip on it, so... it's been too long since I worked on anything 'new'.
