I would like to know how to assemble and repair the rear drum brakes on my 1971 Chevy C10 pickup truck. I would like to know how to put back the springs that fell off.

Thank you. I hope you can help.

No problem. Here are a couple guides that will help with this. The springs are pretty standard so these guides will help get the info that you need in order to complete this.
