im about to do some work on a 1991 f-250 4wd dually and i cant find a brake shoe for the rear its a verry narrow shoe smaller than whats on my 86 half ton is ti possible there is a dodge rear end in it ? the reason i ask that is the transfer case is shot i thought mabe a different rear gear was the problen untill i was asked to do the rear brakes the tag on the front axle says a 4:11 gear but there is no tag in the rear please help

 

It sounds like someone has done a hackjob on the brakes and put in a shoe that sort of fit. You should have a Dana 70 or 80 under the rear end.

Wait a second - F-250 dually? Are you sure it's not an F-350?

 

independant front suspension four wheel drive no straight axle its a 3/4 ton any ways the shoes match the drum but there so worn and rusty that i couldnt get a number off them if i want to

 

F-250's were NEVER offered as a dually. To get a dually, you had to get an F-350. So you have a homemade truck.

You'll need to identify the rear axle to get brake parts for it. There are a couple axle identification guides around the Internet. Search for them here, and they've also been posted in the axle & tranny forum before.

 

thanks guys ill see what i can do
