Hi everybody,
I renewed the brake components some time back for my '58 half ton truck,
all but the solid brake lines. I have a question about the front brake
shoes.
The shoes for each side aren't the same: one has more pad area than the
other. I removed my old ones and installed the new ones the same way,
with the smaller pad shoe on the front, the larger behind. Is that
right? I was looking at the picture in my shop manual, and it shows the
smaller pad shoe opposite the adjuster star. But I don't know which
side the picture is of. For the pictures of the heavier brake systems,
there's a caption that points "forward", but not for mine. Figures.

Thanks,
Ed Miller
