1935 Ford 1.5 Ton Truck Brakes
2 Questions:
1) Is there any info on rod mechanical brakes out there? 2) Would it be easy to change over to hydraulic brake upgrade? I would like to know any ideas or suggestions. Thank you very much! Chris in TX |

Page 3 of the 1932-37 Service Bulletins has information on the truck brakes.

Re: 1935 Ford 1.5 Ton Truck Brakes
I have pondered this many times. I love the bigger trucks and have owned 5 or 6. I solved it by selling a really nice '37 1 1/2 ton and buying a '47 2 ton. After that I was more comfortable hauling loads on my steep mountain road. I wish I could steer you to a kit or easy solution. Maybe later model backing plates would bolt to your axles like the car/pickup guys do. Chucks Trucks in Conneticut might have the info. Call him? He's very knowledgeble and a nice guy.
