beatngu Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 What would the average cost of new drums and what not be for the older trucks? if a tire/wheel size is needed for this price, I will run to the junkyard tommarow night. I would guess that it will need all new brakes, seems how it is only used once a year, and has not been touched after '84.

beatngu Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 The truck is at a JUNKYARD. I do not have any way to bring it to a garage, for I do not own it.

chris88 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 400 for parts? Thats way too cheap for everything. Slacks are 100 a piece, drums are 70-90 depending who makes em and what they are. Scams are somehwhere between 80 and 100 a piece. I cant remeber what shoes are off hand but somewhere around 40-50 i would think for 1 set but i may be wrong. We figure 10-12 hours labor for a complete brake job on a dayton hub truck.

chris88 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I was just kiddin. That sounds right for manual adjust. I thought you were talkin about automatics. Its amazing how expensive a brake job can get when you start doin everything. I can get a truck in and out that just needs shoes and drums in no time but once you start doin chambers and slacks and bearings and s cam bushings and everything else the time really starts to add up quick.
