Default Re: 34 Pickup Rear Brakes

I believe that your ‘34 adjuster is similar to my ‘38 adjuster, which does not screw out from the rear of the backing plate, but rather, to the front, which in doing so, pushes out the dust cap. As yours has broken, you’ll have to remove the dust cap with a pick of some sort, to access the adjuster and wedge within. As for replacement parts, and other help, you’ll find none better than Flathead Ted on this forum, and his floater wedges, which are superior to the original Ford wedges.

You can also replace the whole backing plate and adjuster with takeoff parts from someone who converted to hydraulics. Put a want ad in the swap meet section and pick California parts if you have a choice. They are beautiful compared to Midwest parts.
