    Try 73 9" cougar drums. They are super wide. They fit the 8" axles & you can use 2" shoes.

    I got part numbers for ya..and they are common cheap drums..I believe ranger truck drums..I have the same rear end in my A and found the original drums were cost prohibited..way too pricey..I think i got mine for 28 bucks each they look a bit different than stock but they work
    lemme go out and see what the number on the box is

    Those are 74-77 Maverick drums, center hole measures 2.775 inches. That's the good news, bad news is the guys that made them for NAPA no longer make them. NAPA number is 87025, might find a warehouse that has them. Good luck.

    A lot of guys use the Maverick rearend in 49-51 shoebox fords so there is quite a bit of info on the www.Shoeboxford.com site. Many guys, it seems, use the rear disc brakes from early 90's crown vics. Apparently it is easy and cheaper than new drums that can be up to $150. a piece if you can dind them.

    Sounds like some 67 mustang figures 2 inch on the V8 and 1 3/4 on the 6 cyl and I paid 30 a piece for the rear drums for the V8 at Major auto parts here locally
