    Hey guys, I know these are Ford but I don't know Ford what? I need to get two drums, wheel cylinders and shoes but I don't know what they came off of so I can't track down these parts. Any help you can offer would be great. If you know anyone with good used drums I'd be interested.

    Thanks

    Looks like an 60's econoline spindle.

    self adjusters = 60s or later. Is it a 4.5" wheel bolt pattern?

    Yes they are. So what do I ask for at the parts house? 1970 F-1 brake parts?

    Measured from where?
    On the inside (friction surface) they are 10" from the outside to outside they are 11 3/4"

    Full size ford trucks had the 5.5" bolt pattern. I'm thinking the mid 60s econoline guess is probably right.

    also Mopars from the 60s had similar looking brakes, and 4.5" bolt pattern, but I don't think the spindles were the same?

    Any part numbers on it anywhere? yeah you have to clean it off to find them. If it's a ford you might see something like C5Ux-****-x

    I'd pull the wheel cylinder and brake shoes off and take them with you. Or you could make a spacer and get Gm mid size like 75 malibu front disk rotors and run disk breaks. You will have to make the caliper mount, but it works great.

    Looking at the picture a little more I think you may have a early Total cost axle from a t-bucket kit. They used 60's era econoline type spindles and breaks.

    Yes that is what this axle and brakes are from, so 60's econoline is what I'm looking for? thanks I'll hit the cl***ifieds for some drums.
     
  11. Often there is a part number and Ford Logo stamped on the backing plate. I'd say Econoline also, as they look like 1960's Ford brakes ( similar to Falcon/Mustang/Fairlane etc)

    Does that look like a legit part number?
    Where would be a good place to look that up?

    Sorry for all the dumb questions
