Yep, what I've experienced also...and the FSM concurs, I believe.Early and mid 1960s. The "heavy duty" bigger 11" brakes like on cop cars and performance models like R/T and GTX had manually adjusted brakes. The smaller 10" brakes like on regular family cars had the self adjusting brakes. Why? Who knows. But that's Ma Mopar for ya....
Here's another pic of my '68 GTX's original rear brake setup, before I redid everything:
(Note that heavy bottom spring that traverses the star wheel adjuster).
