Of all the brake issues I had the simple solution to my issue of a draggin
rear was the the crossbar support thingy. The groove in the rear of the
cross support, that sits between the shoes, was not "wide" enough. I
purchased complete rear brake kits at Auotzone the spring after I got the
truck and my brakes had never been right since. Finally this pas spring(5
years after installing it), my auto mechanic buddy noticed it, used his die
grinder and squared it out to match driver side and my brakes work like a
brand new truck...
