Time for the disc swap! UAP/Napa Auto parts is asking $64.00 CDN for front shoes!!!
I told the guy I would scrap the truck before I spent that kinda money on shoes!
Lemme see $64.00 CDN to US ...... :roll: ....... Is that about 4r bucks? .... naw carry the 1..... :? still too much.

Don't they have Canadian Tire out there in the Land of Screech?

Lawsy, :shock: that is a big price for brake shoes
It's a race.. Will hell freeze over or will JC finish his truck first. Stay tuned..

Is that a complete set or is it per wheel? I can't remember what Napa quoted me.

I was surprised to find that Partsource could get me front drums for my 62...

That was just the fronts. And Canada trash out here wasn't sure they had cars and trucks back then.
Takin a couple of weeks off and trying to get as much done within my budget as possible. But paying 60 plus for something worth 30 to 35 just puts me over the edge.

I feel your pain. It's a lot of money to drop just for stock replacements. I'm considering the disc swap myself for that very reason.

If they had trucks back then they'd be in the computer, wouldn't they? :roll:
