Further pieces to the puzzle
The search for brake shoes continues.....
After talking to the keepers of the Chevrolet Flame down at Corowa this year. It seems the common phrasing for these brake shoes in Chevy land is 'Cast Shoes' they are also out of what is known as a 'Timken Axle'. A further piece to the puzzle was found at Max's at Yass in a Manual. In the second picture it reveals that only the 1 1/2 ton trucks (or 30 CWT) had this heavy duty axle. Seems to confirm what we thought - that the truck is indeed a 30cwt truck. The thrid picture decisively shows what these front brake shoes look like. Certainly not conventional Chev, but exactly what is on the front of this truck. The long and short of it is Im stoked to have found out it is all authentic Chev in the rarer body wieght.....but we are still no closer to finding a pair of brake shoes for it. Has anyone got any ???? Please??
