This is a REALLY good series of automotive lectures. The disc brake
section is particularly good, giving some of the numbers we seldom see,
such as requirements for maximum parking brake application force.

LOTS of them, though.

Two sets of rear drums. Otherwise, closely related.

Yep, almost identical; just not many interchangeable parts.

When you do tear into the GMC's brakes, I encourage you to go ahead and
install a reaction arm system. The pole-vaulting of the rear of the coach
over the mid wheels is the greatest flaw in the GMC chassis design, IMHO.
