49' Brakeshoes?

I just checked Classicparts and I cant find any brakeshoes for my Chevrolet 1949 3600. Any ideas where I can find, cheap?

I really dont want to spend very much money on brakeshoes, because Im going to install a Mustang ll front end in the near future. Need to have the truck all stock first, for the car registration here in Sweden. After this I can start modify

 

Check with someone such as J.C. Whitney. They have a lot of odd stuff no one else has. Good luck.

 

Thanks for the advice! I just checked their website and found these:

Not much info on that page. I wonder if these will fit a 3600? What do you think?

Check with Jim Carter truck parts. If I recall correctly, 1 ton fronts are the same as 3/4 ton rears. I have some servicable 1 ton fronts available .

 

Okey. That would be great, someone who know if the 1 ton fronts fits the rear on 3/4 trucks? Then the fronts are the only problem. I have to check if it's possible to get the relined at some local shop. I thought they were reproduced, but no! If someone find any front 3/4 ton shoes, let me know!

You may want to take a Very deep breath before you look at the core charge!!

 

Yes for us 3/4 ton huck rear shoes are no longer made. So don't throw yours away. As mentioned above you can get them relined. That is what i plan on doing when mine are worn. Zig was kind enough to give me his that were refurbished! So Im good for a while. Also DO NOT AGAIN DO NOT turn your drums. Huck drums are no longer available as well at least for the 3/4 ton they are not!!!

 

Sounds like I should SAVE ALL 3/4 ton parts!!! Didnt know this actually. I will get my shoes relined then! Im going with a camaro rearaxle in the future so I will get some nice 3/4 tons brakeshoes over. Let me know, if anyone need them!
