Rear Brake Shoe Width

[coachdtierney54]

How do I know if I need a 13x2.5 or 13x3.5? I'm trying to avoid taking the dual rear wheels off multiple times to find out Thanks!

Build sheet will have your brake system on it which will tell you what size.

Is that the sticker inside the glove compartment?

If it's for the '85 C30 in your profile they should be 3-1/2".

That's what I was thinking, but you never can tell.

IF it's factory, the 30s of that vintage all had 3-1/2" shoes. 2-1/2" was the heavy 20s and later 30s like '88-'89.

That's great to know. I'm sure this job will lead to others, like new parking brake cables
