We turned a ton of drums my first go around at the parts store. I was lucky to have a pair turned close to a decade ago before the last shop in the area with a lathe, closed.

215/65r15.

Can you post a picture of the tire? 95h sounds like a speed rating. I'm sure it's not a 95 series tire.

They are different part numbers from '79 to '80.

I'm glad I got my parts years ago. I don't have to think about it, I just need to put them on. I used E-Boogers disc brake swap found on Mopar Actions website, Disc-o-tech I think it was titled. Hope it all works out easily for you.

I need to get.going on my swap, I'd give you mine if they were off the car. What side do you need?

I had most everything years ago, but I didn't get the brackets til I joined this site.:thankyou: Now to throw them on the car with all the other parts I've gathered for 18 years... Gotta beat the 9" front drums the car has only known!

Go with what works together, not what might work together. Save yourself a lot of time trying to figure out what's already been figured out. That said I'm using the 73 up spindles, 11 3/4" rotors and the pin type calipers and brackets on my 67.

I was told by memebers here you can use your original tie rods with the 74 spindles, but you'll need to also use the original center link and pitman/idler arms.

No problem.

Calipers were behind the spindle from the factory.

I got all I needed for a swap to 73+ discs at the parts store except UCA's and the caliper brackets. I tried KH, but that was a no go and expensive, even with me working at the parts store. They just weren't worth pursuing. I got then11.75" rotors and pin type calipers. I'm not building a canyon...

Funny. My Dart has manual brakes and I'm fine with that (although they have never worked well since I've had the car, front 9" only) I know how they are. My Polara has power brakes, and when they weren't hooked up, they sucked! Power brakes without vacuum is way worse than manual brakes any day...

I had that issue before, and I just wiggled everything and it settled into place. Maybe it's that simple for you?

X2. If you're going to spend the money, spend 10-15% more and get the best factory mopar pieces and bolt 'em together. Cheap, effective, and easy to do yourself. Get a Factory Service Manual and it will explain everything, most of it pictured. You can all you need with a little searching here...

I got the other side off. Pry bar and PB Blaster did the trick. A big hammer also helped. I did smash the drums up a bit, but there life was already near the end. Thanks everyone for your suggestions, I appreciate it! Now to throw this unit under the car with the super stock springs.

I'm going to put BBP axles and 11" drums on the car, so I'm not too concerned about what I'm taking off. Not that I want to ruin it though.

I got the loose side drum off with a pry bar. I'll try to pry the other side tomorrow.

The one side is moving and one of the pins already undid itself. I forgot to mention that in my first post. The other side seems to move just a little. I don't have a torch, otherwise I would try that approach. It is in the back of my truck so I could stop by a shop. I do have a pry bar...

I have an 8 & 3/4 axle that the drums are stuck/rusted on. Tried backing off the adjusters but that didn't help. I sprayed some PB Blaster in hopes that a 24 hour soak might free it up. Going to see if it helps in the morning. Anyone have any suggestions?

ScubaSteve: as a manager of a parts store you should know that hardly any company is going to jeep an item in stick that has very little or no demand. Being that the Viper is a low production car, and most owners aren't going to work on their car themselves, and that the dealer will source the...

I did a Google search and this is what I found: dodge 11" parking brake strut lever - Google Search The pictures with the white background and blue springs are what you want. They have kits for different years. They can help you out.

Use '73 up spindles and upper control arms from a car with disc brakes, and the calipers and brackets also, swap your master cylinder, and you have discs. Might need the proportioning valve also. Cheap and plentiful.
