    1. 1947-1948 Brake Release

      The following article was released by GM on May 15, 1948. It was sent to all Chevrolet and GMC dealers and was to correct a problem with the location of the 1948 Brake release handle.

    2. Brake Pedal Pads, True or False?

      The rubber quality on Pre-World War II vehicles was fair at best. Its useful life was limited. Thus, GM engineers did not add rubber pedal pads to early trucks. They were aware of the heavy abuse so many commercial vehicles would receive.

    3. Brake System Changes

      Since the introduction of hydraulic brakes on trucks in 1936, Chevrolet and GMC had been using the Huck brake system. On light trucks and cars it can easily be identified by the existence of a pair of shoe adjusting holes in each backing plate.

    4. Brake Drum Wear

      Using a specialized gauge to show wear levels on brake drums is the best way to indicate wear, however there is a visual method.

    5. Chevrolet / GMC Brake Cable Connector (After Market)

      The common practice of replacing the original differential with a newer high speed assembly usually brings up another question: How do I connect the late model brake cable to the original brake system?
