Arrow 1966 Ford 4x4 Pickup brake spring
I have a 1966 Ford Pickup, 4x4. The front driver side brake spring in the photo has been somewhat elusive in finding. I ordered a Brake spring kit and the spring didn't come with it. I haven't been able to find the spring anywhere. Any help would be very much apprecciated.

If I haven't given enough info, just ask. I don't really know a part number or what this spring is called. I just know I can't find it. >.<!;;~

Have you tried an actual parts jobber, such as NAPA?

What is your brake size and I will try to find a set.

Re: 1966 Ford 4x4 Pickup brake spring
I believe it's a size 11 or 12. I'll have to double check.

I tried O'Riely's, Napa, Advanced Auto parts, and Autozone. And a few other shops that are more Topeka local owned and such.

Measure the drum ID and the brake shoe width and post it.

Brake size depends on actual front axle installation. What model...F100 thru F250 (or give first five characters of VIN)?

I will need the exact brake size to get into the proper parts list.

This single spring runs between the primary and secondary shoe, correct?

OK...

Origional PN C3AZ 2035-A (shoe to shoe) discontinued many years ago from FORD.

It is actually used on a 63/64 GALAXY/MERC also so it should be readily available aftermarket (BENDIX).

Your setup also uses upper primary and secondary retracting springs, correct?

Below is what you setup should look like-



Using the online BENDIX Parts List, I come up with Hardware Kit H-111.



Copy this post and take it to a large parts jobber in town.
