regarding m-35 brake shoe width. the shoes in all the ones i have done
are the same width as the drum allows. i can EASILY lock up all wheels
if the brakes are applied to hard. under normal braking, the truck slows
down VERY quickly , but i do have a modified brake system using the
stock drums, cylinders and shoes....... i routinely drive this truck at
70 mph for long trips and with good tires have never had any handling or
control issues.
