    Ford .......'48 or earlier. The red drum has a wheel adapter on it.

  3. Ray is correct. If they don't adjust on the bottom they are post war. If there is an adjustment at the bottom they are pre war. The end of the spindle looks like someone torqued the nut real good (I bet they won't do that again). ***uming the drums are less than 12.060 the drums and backing plates should be worth a couple of hundred. Check the ads and see the current price. Add another few bucks for the adapter. Check the catalogues to see the current price.

    dont have dial caliper big enough .but tap measure right on 12 even. no adjuster at bottom. im new to these cars never work on anything older 66
     
  5. That makes them post war (which I prefer). Find someone with a drum mike so you know what you have and then advertise them here and on fordbarn.com.

    Those are '40/'41 hubs and drums. I can't see the adjusters on the backing plates but I suspect they are the same. Postwar drums are mounted with the hub on the outside.
