F100 front brake shoe question

Did a search...no luck. I'm putting 1953 F100 brake in a 40ish axle. I started with a box of parts so I don't have a reference how it goes. Heres the question....doe's the big shoe go in the front or back? thanks

 

Big shoe always goes in the back. HRP

 

Self energizing, small in front, HRP got it.
Case closed.

 

Cracks me up when someone says they searched for info on subjects that have been disscused bazillion times!
OK now, the shoes are the same, it's the linings that are different lengths, and the short primary lining always goes to the front and longer secondary lining to the rear on Bendix dual servo brakes.

 

Semantics! HRP

 

Thanks guys, short to front....Bob sorry to bother you!

 

If you buy a 66 F-100 brake retainer springs kit ... you can get self adjusting brakes.

When buying new brakes shoes ... 53 to 66 F-100 are the same.
Also ... you can use up to 66 F-100 brake drums.

 

shoes, linings.... OMG should I be embarrased ??

Deuce has good info there.

 

This is what Randy told me,it is exactly what I did on my Deuce pickup. HRP
