Re: Brake drum ID

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes I believe at least some Imperials had a 5" bolt pattern and possibly 
some C body wagons. The 11" finned brake drums were standard or an option on 
some C, B. and E bodies. High performance models like Hemis and 440's, 
station wagons, trailer towing packages, trucks ect. I have an 8 3/4 rear 
here that judging by the width is out of a C or E body. The reason I saved 
it after pirating the sure grip center section out of it is because it has 
the finned 11" brakes on it. Plans are to upgrade the rear brakes on my 36 
Plymouth street rod which has a 340, 727 and an 8 3/4 out of a B body with 
10" brakes. I just have to get "a round tuit"
