  I'm trying to restore the original mechanical brakes on my 35 pickup. I've replaced the brake linings on the shoes and resurfaced the drums. Can anyone give me any pointers on how to set up and adjust the brakes from scratch ? Thank you .

  Do you have an 1935 Ford Reference Book? (owners manual)
There is two pages in there that explain it to the vehicle owner.

In the mean time, here is a link to a discussion on brake adjustment from the Club's V-8 Forum
