1953 F250 Parking Brake band

Hello
the F250 I am restoring has a badly damaged Brake Band on the parking brake. Any idea where I could find a replacement? even an aftermarket ?

Thanks

You can see what your local heavy truck brake & clutch shop could offer. If the damage is confined to the friction material, they definitely should be able to reline it. Beyond that, it would be worthwhile to see what they could do for the band structure itself.

The band assembly (complete with friction material) is -2648. If yours can't be rebuilt/relined as suggested above, your next best bet would be to reach out to Chuck's Trucks LLC, give 'em a call and see if there is something serviceable in their inventory.

Pops, welcome to FTE!
We would love to see pictures of your truck.
Reading closer before I posted, this info below if it is just the brake material. If the metal band is bad I would agree that Chuck's Trucks should be your first stop.
Show us some pictures of your brake band.

I did it myself. Here is a thread on the topic.

Here is info on the material I used.

I used 2" by 3/16" lining material

One of the end pieces has completely broken off. I laid them together - I have another picture I will post of it broken. It actually looks like the band rubbed on the drive for so long it wore through the metal.

There's bound to be plenty of those bands out there. The same part was used from 51-56 on F2/250 and F3/350 trucks.

If you can't find one close I could likely help you out, that is the 3 speed heavy duty transmission from my Mercury M350..

Another Brake Question

First found the Brake Band through Terry's in Nebraska- Now having it re-lined (not cheap)...

New question:
MASTER CYLINDER
Please look at the picture. there is a second port inside the chamber and I am not sure where is goes. I have cleaned thoroughly but not sure where it ports to, I cant get anything in there to see if its clogged?

Thanks
Pops
