I had some spare time on Saturday afternoon to tinker with mocking up the front drum brake assemblies. Part of my motivation is trying to consolidate my parts pile off the garage floor as I'll soon have to make room for my truck inside as the weather turns colder in the coming weeks.
I found out the backing plates are for self adjusting brakes with no hole for the adjuster on the bottom. I just found and ordered the correct (non-reproduction) backing plates with the shoe adjusting hole. Will need to get those blasted and painted when they arrive.
When I pulled the back seat out last week the seat frames were half-a$$ painted by someone previously with a fair amount of surface rust still present. So I stopped by the upholstery guy's place in my travels this morning and told him to call me when he has the old covers off and I will pick them up and get it blasted and painted to match the front seat. Might as well do things right........
Keep learning and moving forward I guess.
