Hello All! I have a 1953 Willys Station Wagon (4 cyl/4 wd) that I've been working on for the past couple of years. While rebuilding the rear brakes I found there was not any of the parts to support an emergency brake. I had already noted the lack of one on the rear of the transfer case. I don't know the history of my Willys other than it originally came from Montana (now resides in Maine). I would like to have an emergency brake, but suspect the easier (??) approach would be to find a used emergency brake drum and components (and drive shaft) for my Station Wagon. That is assuming all transfer cases were created equal and a brake backing plate could be mounted to mine. Any thoughts? The picture attached is of the rear left brake assembly (after I first removed the drum).
