I have a 1967 Plymouth Satellite, 383-4V, automatic. I need to change the drum brakes all around. I know the rears are 10”- 2-1/2” shoes, but I am not sure if the fronts are 10 or 11”. I am coming off of knee surgery so I can’t right now pull the wheel. I want to order the parts and have them available for doing the job in 3-4 weeks. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
^^^ As Dan / AR67GTX accurately points out above ^^^
It is best to put someone’s eyeballs on a Front Brake Drum diameter….

440s use 11 “ Brake Drums , definitively….. from the Factory
318s use 10 “ Brake Drums , definitively….. from the Factory

383s can go either way — 10 “ or 11 “ —- from the Factory

=== Why not be 100 % Perfect ??? ===

+ # 1 ) Who knows what modifications have been done to the car in the last 58 years ???
+ # 2 ) Never say Never with MOPAR ??? I have seen some strange things —- from the Factory —- through my course of time…..

Additionally , if you would like to go *** U.S.A. made *** when you are healthy and able , as opposed to the internet world of simply Chineseum warpable garbage , I have
Every Brake Drum we mentioned in *** N.O.S. ***
U.S.A. made *** and every Brake Shoe to go with it in
*** N.O.S. *** Asbestos —- the softest , smooooooothest braking system known to mankind, and does not rip up brake drums to smithereens…..

P.M. me , as per forum rules , if interested…..

Yours , Craig….
 
Actually , 451Mopar , 10 “ & 11 “ both had Self Adjusters as far back as 1965 —- I stock them —- and sell them all the time….
Admittedly, I stock less than the later years , especially after the design change of the brake cable , but I stock
150 sets of Combi Kits and Self Adjuster Kits….. Every single size and kit + all the six cylinder kits —- early and late —- another 24 kits….
