I chucked the drum set ups from my 10 and 12 bolts but I have a 10 bolt on n the K5 if that stuff would work.

Mine is a 10 bolt don't see why it wouldn't I've got a 1/2 ton according to the book it should work up to a 3/4 ton even 4wd

You out there honky kong jr was wondering if you came across the emergency brake cable levers the only ones I found on ebay are for 1985 and up mine of course is an 83 guy at the salvage yard said I'd have to replace the backing plate as well course i don't know the reason why something about the difference in the shoe sizes mine are 2 inch course don't see the difference why it would matter it's just an emergency brake lever
