brake equalizer cross shaft

[moasew]

I'm planning to machine the two cross shafts so I can place the split bushing and newer frame bracket on . Is this OK or should I stay with the original brackets and no bushings?

I do not have the individual emergency brake shoes so changing to the single cross shaft would be pricey and take away from the originality more than I'd like.

BTW does anyone have original cross shafts (preferably the second style with the longer tapered socket as shown on the right in the photos) for the equalizer shaft (dog bone)? I need to replace with the same style on each side.
It turns out I have two styles of cross shafts.The very first one on the left and the second style on the right.

This is the single cross shaft Ford used for cars with the left hand
emergency brake. It has an extra lever for the emergency brake.

Hi Bob:

Do you have this for sale? I've ordered AR drums (same front and back)
from Mel(Randy Gross) but am wondering if I should order the newer drums to accept the separate emergency brake providing I can get the other parts required. Do I need a totally different backing plates for the rear? What other parts do I need to make the transition to separate E brake and keep the lever on the left.

Thanks

Wilfred

I think you need to figure out which wheels you want to run. There's
a bunch of parts that don't work together...

Sure that isn't a bubba fix part?

Looks like the one in the Service Bulletins to me. It had the part suffix ER. At one time I was looking for one. If I stumble on one at some point I will put it back for future use. Rod
