Why not just go too the larger shoes and drums? Backing plates will bolt right up to the housing!

hi!

i've never done a swap to a bigger drum before, completely new.... can you assist me with some information on this?

lf not too difficult, this may be necessary for me at this point...

I'm doing that to my '66 hemi Coronet, I'll let you know how it works. It has 11's in front and 10X2.5's in the rear, as it was originally a disc brake car. I'm putting 11's on the back so it is correct for a manual drum brake car.

According to the FSM...Factory Service Manual...the drum sizes on the '66 Ply Belvedere are as follows:

V-8, Heavy Duty, Sub
Front 10 X 2 1/2
Rear 10 X 2 1/2
Shoes 2 1/2

6 Cylinder
Front 10 X 2 1/4
Rear 10 X 1 3/4

I have the V-8 size Rims only but if that is the size engine you have then these are the correct ones. Rusty on the outside but will clean up. Linings can be cleaned of surface rust real easily. If interested PM me...cr8crshr/Tuck

IIRC (don't hold me to it,) my '69 Dart Custom with the 8-3/4 axle and the disc brake option used 10X2" rear drums. It might be another place to look.

The older 'A' bodies use a 4" BC and the B's use 4 1/2" BC so they do not interchange with each other.
