Thanks guys. I cleaned the minimal amount of dust there was when I pulled the drum. Return spring and adjuster both appeared to operate normally and looked new. I'll try new shoes and see if that "cures" the issue.

I checked them first thing in the morning after the truck had set all night (when the noise is most noticeable). Cleaned everything, adjusted, check cable tension, and return springs along with the shoes. All seemed to be "normal" and not showing any excessive wear. With only 6000 miles on...

Guys Have a newly (5000 mile) restored 77 D150 with a 440/727/dana drive train. It has a disc/drum set up. My issue seems to be with the right rear brake. When I first start driving, it squeals excessively when stopping at a sign. After driving for a few minutes it goes away. Does not make...

Looking for the non tripod door mirrors (both sides) for a 77 D150 and a 40/20/40 split bench seat for the same truck. Do you have either?

Drives well straight ahead and turning corners on the street. Only seems like it happens when at full lock. Haven't had it in the gravel yet...
