69 B body Hemi cars did they come with self adjusting 11 inch rear brakes on an eight and three quarter rear end.

Trying to get brakes done and bought hardware kit from napa. Lower spring isn't right. To short. Said needed auto adjusting hardware kit n they said oh we need to look newer years. So got me thinking maybe they didn't come with them. Anyone have good pic of an 11 inch auto adjusting set up to show them?

That looks absolutely correct to me I don't think Ma Mopar sold any standard productions cars(Not the 1965 A99 drag cars or the 1968 Hurst Hemi Darts or Cuda ) from either 1962 or maybe 1961 that didn't have self adjusting drum brakes on them from the factory regardless of the brake sizes

Had a couple 68's here with manual adjust from factory. The adjusters had the easy to grab stars with the lesser tooth count. Yes and they can be turned either direction with the same effort and no locking when backing off.

My '68 Hemi roadrunner is manual adjust on all four corners. From what I recall, I switched it to self adjusting back in the late 80s.

69 B body Hemi cars did they come with self adjusting 11 inch rear brakes on an eight and three quarter rear end. The 11x3" drum brakes did not get self adjusters till 1970. If you order a 1970 spring and adjuster kit, you can retrofit the adjusters to the older brakes.
