I don't know how much different are the self-adjusting drum brakes are from the old Chevys. Well, as nowadays drum brakes on light-duty vehicles have been more confined to the rear axle, and most cars are FWD, seems like self-adjusting fell out of favor among the automakers. Eventually this may explain why in some cars the parking brake fails so often...
