I would like to use the correct Emergency Brake strut lever for a 70 Challenger with 10 inch brakes on a Dana 60
See Picture of 2 different strut levers
Which is correct
TIA

What is stamped on the the flat lever ?

The one with the 90* bend seems like the correct one to me, I have only dabbled with 68-70 cars and I only remember that style in my piles of parts.

John,

Don't have any numbers right now.The flat one looks like the one on my 70 challenger w/10" brakes 8-3/4
I am not sure if it's the same set up on my 70 Challenger Dana60
Looked in the 70 parts book but the strut part #'s are all missing.
lot's of 70 ebody Dana 60 around,someone please help

Thanks
Bob

Are you talking about ten inch brakes on a Dana or 10.5 inch brakes on a OEM factory stock Dana 60 ? I don't remember seeing any 10.0 inch brakes on a E, C or B body after 1966 Maybe my mind is not remembering correctly now I'm thinking my 1970 V code Charger with the stock Dana had 10.5x2.5 on the back with disc in the front. It did not have the heavy duty brake option, 3x11 on the rear

Disc brakes had 10" rear drums , that changed sometime in the early 70s' .

They are 10" stock OE dana

John, I am thinking that maybe the 90* one is for 3" wide shoes and would be bent on the angle so it would not hit the axle on the wider brake shoes
But not sure

Good point on that , you might be onto something with that, but was there a 3" with 10" shoe ? Or is that bent one for an 11" ?

John,
I will measure them over the weekend and take more close up pictures and get the numbers off the strut.

Bob,
I have worked on a ton of 1970 Dana's with 10 inch rear brakes. The correct one would be the flat one. I have never seen that one with the 90 degree bend.

Yes Dirk,
After looking and checking it looks like the flat one is correct.
Thanks to all
Bob
