    Anyone know how to determine if i bought 53-56 f100 brakes today at pomona swap meet..the vendor said he thinks they are but was'nt for sure
    i have 37-48 spindles and was told the f100 backing plate,drum would work ..with some modification
    BUT QUESTION IS..IS THERE A WAY TO TELL FOR SURE WHAT YEAR..MAKE ETC THE BRAKES ARE I BOUGHT TODAY?

    They look like F-100 backers. Does the bolt parrten match the 37-48 spindles? If so...Get the right bearings and you are set.

    This is a WAG. I would look to 50's GM. Maybe 56 Cad,Buick,Olds. Not too much later when they went to two bolts and the upper post anchor attachment.
