Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Thanks Mark, Jim!
Jim, you wont recognize the city nowadays, it changes while you stand in it...

Let me show you some pics of the brakes and suspension of the ‘35...
I will not talk sh*t about the “Professianal Hot Rod Shop”. I know the Dutch readers will know this guy..
This is only the beginning to get this right. This is the first thing I looked at, very promessing for the rest to come.

Pic #1 brakeline, it’s copper, so it has to have clamps, especially in this kind of area...
Pic #2,3 he had ordered the wrong size brakeshoes. If you do your homework, you’ll know that 2” brakes does not fit stock ‘35 drums. I did find this info after 3 minutes on Google. You can see the drum scrape the shoe, also you can’t get the hub/drum tightened up, it won’t turn anymore. 1 3/4” shoes should have been used...
Pic #4 crownnuts, I was thought the pins have to be in the crown, otherwise the nuts can come loose and and that is a bad thing when you talk suspension. I only had to make 1/4” thick rings to get the nuts where they belong, then used the proper size pins and it was ready to Roll. That isn’t so difficult?
Pic #5 didn’t get the drums off, so made me a special 1935 brakedrumpuller...
When you don’t have it, and you need it, make it
