An interesting experience...

Had to change my front brake shoes today...no big deal right??? It's a simple job, even though I have 4 wheel drums, just only undo one side so you can use the other side for a reference...thats what Dad taught me

I went to Autozone, got the shoes and the hardware kit, came home, and the brake shoes were to small. Not to narrow, toosmall in diameter. I went back and the manager starts pulling up numbers. The brake shoes that I have on my '67 are not from a '67, they are from at least '64-'66...weird huh???

Oh well, I got it back together and its great now. But I do need some help...any idea where I can find self-adjuster cables at???

Thanks,
Ken

My cables came from Napa. But I think they were part of the hardware kit.

Maybe Ford had too many left over brake shoes when the 67's came out so they put em on anyway. Waste not, want not.

I ran into that problem on a '86 Nissan p/u. Nissan used left over parts untill they ran out and then switched to the current parts. It always made for an interesting trip to the parts store.
