Focus Grease Monkey Registered: 08/31/07 Posts: 8 Loc: Alabama	I was wondering if any have had to modify the brake shoes to get this bar to work on new brake shoes? I have just finished installing all new lines and E cables (1959 1/2 ton pickup )and the bars where not there but I found them in the glove box so not sure if they are orginal or not. But believe they are and the brake shoes may not be correct as I am reusing the ones that I removed and not sure if they where installed correctly to start with as the E brake lever is attached to the short pad just wondering if any of you guys had encountered this problem and what was the fix? Thanks Edited by Focus (09/18/07 12:55 PM)

They were the same for cars and 1/2 ton trunks from 1951 up into the '60's. Yours are probably the originals. The shoes alos fit many years . I can see no reason why yours does not fit (with the info that I have). Need more info. _________________________ Chevgene
