Dana 70 Front

[chris77ford]

Dont know if this is the right place for this, Im new to this forum. But on to the question, I just picked up what I was told to be a early 70's Dodge dually Millitary front axle (4wd) and I have been searching for brake shoes for this thing and cant find them. If any of you know where to find them any help would be appreciated

Go to Pirate4x4.com and ask on their Dodge forum, but beware!! they are not the friendliest of people over there.

That would probably be a W400... A lot of ambulances built on that chassis before and after the W200 based M880 series...

 

[chris77ford]

so where would i look for the w400 front shoes?

 

[acetomatoco]

An old line Mopar dealer with a parts man with gray hair.. A good Napa truck store..Vintage Power Wagons, Hemmings Motor News, Google and the list goes on...

And of course you leave the old shoes at a reliner and say fix em.. I just dropped off a set of M715 shoes for relining by an independent contractor here (riveted)...They do winch brakes, Steering clutches, Tractor brakes and all kinds of thingies...I bet some of the Bayou boys in FL can help you... Kenny?

 

[chris77ford]

they dont know of any body that relines them
