Sorry man I tried to find the answer on this in previous threads and came up empty. I pulled the manual 9 inch drums off the front and rear of my 67, and I'm going with 11" drums in the rear on an 8.25 and 11.75" disks in the front. I also have the correct prop valve off a disk car. I assume...

I know the existing e brake cables work in this upgrade, but do I also use the existing e brake lever and the piece that runs between the shoes just under the wheel cylinder, or are they different for 11" brakes vs 10?

thanks brother, I think it best to avoid the 11x3 altogether.

So on our sister site forbbodies a cat responded to an older similar question that the 11x3 never came on the rear, it was a front brake for circa 1970 B bodies, and that the vast majority of 11" rear plates took the 2.5" shoe. Given that, I'll follow Dana67Dart's suggestion to put the plates...

Through the years I've picked up multiple pairs of 11" backing plates off large 8 3/4 cars. Now I'm considering using a set on a 73 Duster 8 1/4. How can I tell which size drums and shoes I need to order. I read somewhere they are not interchangeable, and the possibilities are 11x2, 11x2.5...

Perfect man...thanks...

I'm working on a 73 8 1/4 that has no brake lines between the wheel cylinders. I was looking at the tee block on ebay from inline tube, and it says 1959 to 1996. Does that mean I can go to the Upullit and take one off an 80's van. That'd be like 5 bucks as opposed to 35 for a tee block and...

Sounds good, thanks brother...

thanks for the info brother, I bought mine probably 15 years ago off ebay. I think they were stock axles that were redrilled, but I'm gonna measure to be sure. Did you notice any real gain on the 11" swaps you did. I've read some folks say the difference is clearly noticeable and others say...

ster.All we had to do was re-drill the drums for the pattern.They even had the small hub register.That was 20 years ago. I'm not sure when they stopped making those axles but now it looks like the only ones on the market have the 10''x 2.5'' backing plates and drums AKA "B'' body parts.So look...

I could, but mine are out of spec, and the small bolt drums are getting tougher to find, tougher being defined as rockauto doesn't have them. I think they can be had for around $150 a pair. I wonder how much the machine work would be, and whether the 11x2.5 is worth the extra money compared...

CRAP!!!! I was afraid you were gonna say that. It appears Dr Diff has them on ebay for $348 with shipping. If I go that route I assume I can use the 11" drums and backing plates I got from the Upullit years ago from a B body, although I wonder if that causes an issue with emergency brake cable...

Some years ago I bought a pair of 8 3/4 axles that were redrilled for bbp. My thinking was change the axles and buy new 10" drums from a 73 up car and I'm on my way. Now I'm not so sure. My 8 3/4 has 10x1.75 shoes on it, and it looks like the 73 up shoes are 10x2.5. Am I missing something or...

I have the woman......willing is a whole other story. Thanks for the input fellas....

So here I am freezing my butt off in Pennsylvania in this drafty old house, and every winter I start to think too much. So here's this years installment of my possibly misconceived thoughts. I read an article about a guy that took the hydroboost system off a wrecked cummins pickup and installed...

I have both the pin and slider type brackets, and I'm trying to price pads for each. Is it possible they both take the same pad? When I look up the application (78 Cordoba) it seems to only list the slider type pad, but I'm relatively certain the pin brackets also came off a 78 or so Cordoba...

I'm not aware of anyone that is making reproduction ones, but that shouldn't really be necessary. They are not a wear part, so old ones are fine and can be made to look new with a little sanding and paint. If you post an add in the parts wanted section, I'm sure there are a lot of folks that...

The backing plates also do not swap over. They are the same for 8 1/4 and 8 3/4, but 7 1/4 is smaller. I believe the brake shoes and hardware will swap over if you have 10" drums on the rear. If you have 9" drums on the rear, they definitively will not. If I'm wrong about this someone will...

Need some advice fellas. My brother and I are combining forces to finish a 67 Barracuda convertible. It now as 9" drums. He has a complete Kelsey Hayes setup for the front, but no set wheel option. I have the 11.75 B-body setup with 73-76 UCA's, and a really good set of 15x7 rallys with new...

is it definitely coming from the rear?

I think T-Granger hit it on the head. Ultimately we need to be happy with what we have. I also know folks that used the Dr. Diff stuff, and they are all happy. On the Summit cheap kit, it's $429 and does not come with pads. Add that and shipping and you're over $500. I'm more bothered by the...

For the last couple years I've been working on my car and at times second guessing my decision to stay low buck and go with 11" rear drums on my car. As time goes by, I become more and more convinced it was the right call. The rear disk kits are great, but none of them, and I mean none of...

I fiound a 95 Grand Cherokee in my local U-pull it. A couple questions if you can help me out. 1. I understand they have either a Dana 35 or Dana 44 in them, and that both are good to go for the 8.25 swap, a bolt on mission, correct? 2. Will I need to pull the Jeep's rear end cover and...

yes sir brother...the 73-76 upper control arms and spindles will work no problem on any 63-72 A-body drum brake car. Make sure you also use the prop valve of the donor car, and if the donor car has a front sway bar it will not work on the 66. The 63-66 cars are a tad narrower, so I would...

To the best of my knowledge that is the part number for all 70-71 disk brake equipped cars, except for the hemi.

I was gonna go with manual brakes, but my local U-pick it junkyard just got in an 80 diplomat, definitely garage kept and grandma driven with ultra low miles (and smashed in the rear). The engine compartment is immaculate. I had read the power booster and later master cylinder are good for us...
