What do I have

10 shoes on 10 drums...that's the ticket. Make sure the return springs are good. The shoes are properly mounted and the adjuster is correct. Asbestos (extinct) shoes will give you a nice "velvet" brake application but will fade. Modern shoes will work fine.

Thank you for the pictures. On mine, I have the last return spring going over the post. Looks like it might be contacting the shaft coming out of the wheel cylinder. I will try to turn it over and see if it still makes contact. That would cause the front shoe to not return for sure. IMAG0715.jpg IMAG0715.jpg
