I am restoring a 51 Chevrolet pickup and am using a S-10 frame and running gear. When I disassembled the frame for sandblasting and painting I photographed the rear brake set up. Since then and now I have lost the picture.

Can you show me a picture of the rear brake arrangement and tell me if the star adjuster with the left hand threads goes on the drivers side or the passengers side.

Thanks

Remove the top end of the adjuster they stamp an L or R so you put em where they go! The adjusting action is on the downstroke so you can figure it out...starwheel pointed to the secondary shoe!(Back)
