    Emergency brake/rear end identification

    I have a 1952 3100. Then "emergency brake" hardware is missing. Nothing from the brake pedal in the cab all the way back to the rear wheels. There is a stump of a cable that appears to have been cut off....

    Here are some closer pics of where it enters the wheel....

    Here is where it comes into the wheel....

    I purchased a the following cable thinking it was what I needed...

    Looking at what is still attached to the truck and what I received in the mail, I am thinking I didn't order the right part. Once inside the wheel, what hooks up to what?

    Can anybody provide some assistance on what I need to do here?

    Thank you!

    Get a hold of Joe from MT and see what he has for you.

    Thank you Gary. Do you by chance have a picture of where the other end of this cable connects to the rear wheel?

    Here is a diagram of everything from the pedal to the middle of the frame.

    Send me a PM... I can fix you up with everything you need.

    Thanks Joe. I have ordered some parts and once they arrive, I will see if I have everything for the forward linkage. It's the rear linkage from the cross bar to the rear wheel that I am struggling with now. It appears that the axle is not from the truck. Now I need to find out where it came from so that I can buy the correct brake shoes, etc. Here are a few pics. Any ideas?

    3896838 is a casting number for a GM 12 bolt rear end.

    pull a rear wheel and brake drum to see if the rest of the parking brake hardware is in there? The cable should be attached to an arm on the back shoe with a support to the other shoe within one wheel. the brake hardware is the same for all the Bendix brakes up to about 1962.

    That's what the third picture in my first post was. There was nothing inside the drum and hence my question. Some on another forum think the axle may have come from a 1970's vehicle.

    Thank you. Is there something I can do to pin down a year/application so that I can know what parts to buy?

    Try http://www.pbase.com/nufsed/drumbrake

    I searched and never figured out what mine was. But it had all these parts. 64 was the first self adjusting break and those parts were used until the 70's. Hope this helps.

    Ok, we found some more numbers...

    On the axle itself... HA0523W

    On the back side of the casing... E177 CON1

    The E177 is most likely a date code.

    E = May
    17 th day
    7 = last digit of the year (1967, 1977, 1987)

    This pic shows the install inside the wheel drum. I will take some more pics of my installation as I'm in that stage right now with my 55 1st Series...:D
