Dana 60 Brake Shoes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**chevmn** · 05-16-2021, 10:24 PM

Anyone else run into this issue? About a year ago I purchased new brake shoes/pads/master cyl kit/wheel cyl kits, etc. Today I finally got around to putting new rear brake shoes, and low and behold I found they were not correct. My truck is a C20 coil spring/Dana 60 3:54 with 12 inch dia. drums. I simply purchased shoes from Rock Auto for a C20 with coil springs, and really never gave thought to there were the two different rear axles for the coil spring trucks. This brake job has been one issue right after another. Should be on top of it once I get the new shoes. (if anyone needs a new set of Delco shoes for the non-Dana rear let me know, as I have an extra set I will not use)

Had the same issue. The part store just looks up the brakes and gives you the first thing comes up. I even stated it’s a Dana 60. Wrong shoes and wheel cylinders. Having a C20 is sometimes a pain. I am having issues getting the front brake hoses. I am getting them custom made since no one understands, not round ends but block ends. Good luck with your repairs.

Just ordered a set of rear shoes from Napa. Tried ordering from local store, but they wanted $23 shipping in advance (non stock items). I could order online with free shipping, tax is much less so I went that way. All the big parts stores are getting to the point they do not stock anything but oil, floor mats, wax, and air fresheners, then they complain that online sales is killing them. It is rare these days I can even do business with the local stores, but I am not paying double for the same part from same source, and delivered to my door.

They are all about the Dana 60 COIL SPRING rear end.

Just picked up a set from Napa for mine. 12" x 2 1/2" linings. Napa here in Ontario Calif actually had them in stock. Mine is a Dana 60 with leaf springs
