Randy,

I just thought of something that no one has mentioned, the rear brake shoes adjust themselves automatically whenever you backup and
hit the brakes. You could go to a large parking lot and back up and stop repeatedly until they're adjusted.

OK, go the packer and grease, mid cylinders and seals, but I think the seals are wrong. They don't carry SKF sold me National
8974S. The lip of the
seal to the edge of the metal is .240 but the dimension from the lip to the flat side(outer) is .260
Are these OK or do I have to keep hunting. My parts guy, who is pretty good, said SKF 21771 is NLA. Maybe just for him though.
Shoes are new, so I am not too concerned about adjustment initially. They will need to bed to the drums and further adjustment is
planned. Looking
forward to being able to stop this beast.
Just did master cylinder and prop vales, new fuel lines and tires. After a 10 year nap we are getting close to hitting the road
again. Maybe...
