1972 1110 4X4

Do a google search for your area for a truck repair shop, lots of the trucks have their brakes relined. If the shop does not do it, then they may be able to tell you where to go. Try a couple of shops, Might even be a reline shop in your area. Others will probably have suggestions for shops they have used.

THANKS! Good idea! Just wondering if anyone had their brakes re-lined,and were satisfied with the finished product.

If you don't find a reputable place I have a few links.

Did you buy relined shoes and if so what's the part number? I come up with them being 11 x 3 (265 industry base number).

In the Eastern Iowa area,I found Sadler Power Train. They have bulk brake linings,and custom trim to fit. Thanks To Lloyd,and Scottso, for the help!

That's a good place to know about Bill,I found their sire and bookmarked it. Also checked out what lines they carry and thru it found a clutch catalog when I Googled the brand. I've found quite a few doing that.

Finally got around to it,and got the right drum off,and shoes ready for clean-up/paint. once that step is finished,I'll send them to Sadler's Power Train,for the re-line. I'll post some pic's,of the shoes when i get them back.

Bill, I have been trying my best, for the last couple of days, to recall all the details I can of a picture of a truck much like you describe you would like to have. I had access to it image before this site, and my computer, crashed at unrelated times. The truck was about a '66 1300 or 1500 model, with 3 axles. Each axle had deep dish rims expected for duallys, but used the 6 lug rim pattern. The front axle had locking hubs, and both rears looked to be driving axles. A picture of the interior showed a main transmission and transfer case shifter, plus what looked like a PTO shifter (it had an impressive wrecker bed on the back). As much as I could tell, there wasn't anything to control the rearmost axle engaging. If it was basicly a 4X4 with a tag axle, would that be enough to get you your bragging rights? Assuming that is your goal, of course. I have a '66 1500A model with a 14,000 GVW rating, perhaps that was the truck's starting point? Wish I knew more, so I could share it. Hopefully I gave you some ideas to pursue. Bill

Got the shoes back from Sadler's,but they had them "Bonded",not riveted. They blasted,powder-coated the hardware,and installed the new linings,for about $145.00. a little pricey,but at least I'll have brakes! Way cheaper than a liability suit! Thanks for the idea,Bill! Tag axle good for looks,(if done correctly),but twin-screw 1-ton's are AWESOME!! Just have to think about it for a while. "Where there's a will,there's a way".

Bill,is your truck a Loadstar?? I had a '67 1800,and there were a million 1600 school buses around here,back in the day. I let somebody borrow the truck,to do a roof tear-off,and it pulled in the yard with a rod knock,since he didn't check the oil,like instructed. The previous owner,(my boss),said you couldn't "hurt" those 345's,and "Floored' it for about 5 minutes,before it finally "threw" the rod out the side of the block! What a WASTE!! I couldn't find a replacement engine at the time,so it went to the crusher!

Bill, my truck, the 1500A, is a mixture of pickup and straight truck, like your loadstar.The cab is pickup, but the wheels use lug studs with inner and outer lug nuts, the same as a straight truck. I supposed it might be the rarest of the rare.
