Brake cross reference??

[dartman59]

i have a 1971 dart but have 10" x 2-1/2" brakes on back. What should I search for when ordering parts from, say, Rock Auto??

In other words, what should I "pretend" that I have??

Also, most listings in rockauto give the dimensions of the brake parts, which is very helpful. Centric is particularly good at that. But, sometimes you see discrepancies in the exact width stated for shoes since the drum surface is slightly wider than the shoe.

What is a brake cross and why do you need to reference it???
