HELP identify 9 inch rear drums

I have been searching everwhere to find out what these are off of. They are 11 x 1 3/4 brake shoe size. The rear is a ford. The bolt pattern is 5 on 4 1/2. I need two of these, the one I have is warped. I completely rebuilt the everything else but I guess I should have found the drums first.

 

Here is a side view. The later model 9 inch have a wider lip.

 

More than likely 1957-1964 Ford passenger car

 

Polacko, I looked through catalogs, parts books at napa, checker, car quest, kanter, macs tech line, and none of them knew. I looked into the 57 to 60's passenger and they all were too wide. I must have ordered and sent back 10 different drums. I even went to all these local guys that are supposed to know EVERYTHING and have never be stumped on a car question, and after about an hour of digging throug their years of books and calling friends they can't come up with an answer of what it is. SO this may be my last resort. Hopefully someone recognizes these and knows exactly what they are. I don't want to change my rearend. thanks in advance

 

I got a catalog that lists 10x1/34" drums as being for the follwing apps ...

62/65 Fairlane (Excl Police,HD,Wagon)
66 Fairlane 6cyl,289 Sedan
67/68 Fairlane 6cyl,289,302 Conv,HT,Sedan
68 Torino 6cyl,302
63/65 Ranchero 8cyl
67/68 Ranchero 289/302 w/ Front Discs
63/65 Falcon 8cyl
66/68 Falcon 8cyl Sedan
62/63 Meteor (Excl Police,HD,Wagon)
64/65 Comet 8cyl
67 Montego 6cyl,289,HT,Sedan

There may be others but thats all my catalog has ...

thanks Anthony, but I am looking for 11 x 1 3/4 not 10 I will check my books again just to be sure that it might be one of those. thanks

 

Did a little snooping ...

Try 66-75 Bronco

 

Have you called Currie Entrprises in CA. 714-528-6957 and asked them. Just a thought.

 

Those year broncos are 5 on 5 1/2, i looked into that.

I called currie, they had no idea. I called the 9 inch shop, no idea. I called macs three times, no idea.
Keep the ideas commin' at me, I am lost at this point.

 

bttt

 

That looks like a 57-59 car drum. I think new ones are unobtanium, which would be why the parts guys couldn't help. My Dad was looking for parts for those size brakes, and used (salvage) was the only thing he could find. Currie was no help either.

Macs Ford Parts lists replacement shoes in that size for those years, but no drums. Could yours be straightened, or turned?

 

57 58 Ford Fairlane is 11x 13/4 rear drum shoe size.

 

I had a little catalog that comes, small, made on newsprint that was selling new drums for 57's. Including wagons. I think it was Joblot Automotive, but its been a while. The price was surprisingly reasonable too.
I'm looking for it now...

 

Kommutter, I only have one drum, I haven't turned it yet, but it may be good. I would like two good ones, but at this point, one will do.

desertratrodder, is that 5 on 4 1/2 or on 5 1/2? I need
4 1/2.

 

Those are 5 on 41/2
Ask for car ones. The wagons are wider and are really hard to find.

Cool. Thanks,drr. Would be worth a call.

 

desertratrodder and kommutter, thanks for the help, I knew the hamb would come through for me. I should have went here first. I have been searching for these for a long time. Now I can bleed my brakes.

 

They are drums off your geo metro. Nice hot rod you homo, you should be in the Gay rods insead of the Cheaters.

 

The drums that joblot has are too wide. HELP anyone else know what these are? The one I have from joblot looks EXACTLY the same but is about 3/16 wider. Maybe those were wagon drums? They said they were for fullsize car??? If I have to machine them I will but it would be much easier to just slide the right ones on and KNOW what the hell this rear is out of. Thanks. Mike

 

This is a '57 standard duty car drum that I dug out for Tagman.11"x1.75". Hope it helps. let me know if you need any measurments off of it, to know if its what you need/don't need.

eberhama, Those look like them. What are they off of and where can I get them? thanks

 

This one is off a '57 ford 4dr. sedan(should be the same for 57-59) 60-64 went to 2" drums. I know wagon/ranchero rear ends/springs are diffrent, but I don't know if the drums are diffrent. Where to get them? that I don't know, I know alot of guys switch to the later drum set-ups to avoid having to find these.

eberhama: I mailed you a m/o for the postage yesterday. Thanks very much for taking the time and making the effort to dig the drum out for me. I owe you one!

 

Dam, Tagman, you needed one too!! You bastard, give them to me!!

 

Is the actual offset of the wider drum any different?

I work at a parts store and dug up some of the wider drums for my 59 9 inch car rearend, i had the narrow brakes also but the drum bell was deeper on the originals so the extra width of the drum was to the outside so it wouldnt interfear with the backing plate, it just only use 1 and 3/4 inches of the surface.

i could dig up the part number for you, i may also have an original drum laying around to.

 

thanks titus, if you could get me that part number that would be great.
