Brake shoe part numbers

What would be a cross reference part number for the brake shoes on my '46 pick-up?

    Your truck should have the 1 3/4 x 11 brakes front and rear, which are the same as stepdown rear.

    Rockauto lists several under 54 Hornet

    NAPA RS55

    You might have to loosen the anchor pin and re-adjust per Walt Mordenti's instructions to make them fit better.

    There are a couple of people in the back of the WTN who re-sole the shoes also


  • Thank you Uncle Josh
  • Now if I can find Walt's Tech Vol 2 page 15 to do the work.
  • Just an update, ordered the shoes from Rock Auto and they just arrived.  The configuration is correct so no modification needed to lower the anchor pin.

     Now I just need to make the time to go and replace them.

    Thanks for your help here.
