does anyone know the correct placement of of the rear shoes. two have thin lining with 3/4" less material and two have thicker lining with 3/4" more material. my question is, which is the primary or leading shoe and which one is the trailing or secondary shoe. the only info i find says the primary goes toward the front of the truck but no indication of thick, thin, less or more lining issue.
it is a fixed upper with the wheel cylinder at the top and the adjuster at the floating bottom.
Thanks, BB

small shoe to the front , bigger to the back . Take your adjusters apart , clean them and load em with antiseeze . If you are real smart you will do one side at a time and then you have something to copy .
