Stop in for a cup of coffee

I have a Mystery here for all of you Automotive Sleuths. This car is like a time capsule, everywhere I look. I got the left side drum off after it soaked for a while. Look what I found inside the drum when it came off? There's a nut laying in there. I immediately assumed that it was one of the nuts for the axle retainer, but they were all in place. Next thing I noticed was how the nut I found was all rounded off around the edges. The Lord only knows how long that has been in that drum rattling around. So then I took a look at the wheel cylinders. They are original Mopars. I can't see a number on the brake shoes yet. I'm beginning to wonder if that nut was left behind during assembly? Probably not an overreach to think so.

I’m guessing yeah it got in there by someone at some point but impossible to know for sure
 
Home from the farm show and had a great time visiting old friends and meeting new people.
My friend with the 63 Fury in my garage and the 67 GTX in my driveway just bought another car. Pictures soon.
 
I think after this parade, I’m gonna go top all my vehicles off, looks like the drama in the Persian Gulf has now hit major oil refineries…. Thinking gas will jump over night 50-75 cents
