I went to the Performance Suspension Technology (PST) site because I want to purchase a complete brake rebuild kit. They have a note that says; "brake drum inside diameter and brake shoe width" are required to place an order. Does anyone know what these dimensions are, and are 1973, 4-door Dart Custom brakes the same as on a 1974 Dart Swinger? I'm kinda hoping someone can tell me before I tear apart these two cars. I'm looking to use the brums and discs from the 4-door and transfer them to the Swinger and use all the rebuild parts in the process.
 
Disc brake cars had 10X2 1/2" drums in the rear from '73 on. If the rears on the '73 are smaller than the ones on the '74, the backing plates from the '74 will swap too.
 
Thanks, I think this weekend I may just have to tear them apart and compare to see where I stand as far as sizes.
