The rear brakes on a 1984 Chevy truck are drum brakes.
Drum brakes.
You have to measure the inside diameter of the drum.
Depends on your Ranger, the non 4 wheel drive take 9 inch rear brakes. The 4 wheel drive Rangers take 10 inch brakes.
Tricked Out - 2004 Honda Civic Drum-to-Disc Brakes Conversion 2-10 was released on: USA: 2005
The drum will have a maximum diameter imprinted on its outer edge. You can see it when you take the wheel off. You can find what size it is by this number - +10" means a 10" drum, +9" means a 9" drum. The size is usually in decimal inch form; ie 10.036". As far as I know, there are only two sizes on a '98 Ranger, 9 & 10. If you're still not sure, take the drum in to a shop and ask to compare!

Are the rear disc brakes or rear drum brakes? If they are disc brakes, ther is no adjustment. If they are drum brakes, you adjust them by backing up and hitting the brakes. Do it in an empty parking lot. If they are drum style brakes, simply put the van in reverse, and accelerate backwards about 10 feet, and jam on the brakes.. repeat a few times and the auto-adjusters will tension the shoes against the drum properly accounting for the pads thickness, or lack thereof. If they are disc brakes, you have no capability to adjust them without removing the wheels, the calipers, and "shimming" the pads so they are thicker inside the caliper. If your pads are to thick, then you have the wrong pads, and if they are to thin to shim out, and safely stay inside the caliper, then yours pads are worn and needing replacement.
the size is 10.x2.5 or 9.x1.75 you need to measure.
You could have either 9 inch or 10 inch , depending on the brake drum size
your suppose to have disc brakes on the back on this model(1998-2995).pricing is hard to pin down,they charge all different prices,It als depends on the drum or disc if it could be resurfaced or needs to be replaced,Original manufacter parts can be expensive, I would go around to a number of places for estimates and pick the cheapest place.
take off the brake drum and measure the diameter of drum it will either be 9" or 10" often the diameter is stamped on the outside lip of the drum in mm's 25.6/ inch aprox. sometimes with mag wheels you can read this w/out pulling wheel off.
