I took the pictures 2 weeks before I bought the car and when I paid for the car $600. I had a rollback come and tow her for me , before the rollback had even got there , I jacked up the car to swap out the flat tires, so she would roll and not be dragged on to the roll back, I wanted to see if the brake shoes were stuck so after I jacked her up and removed the wheels and used a set of ford truck wheels . I hit the drums square with a lug wrench and shook it hard and the drum came off, the car only sat there for close to 2 years so she hadn't sank in the ground much.

Henry, if you have bought this car, I fear you are in for a real treat trying to get the rear drums off. Once the wheel sinks below ground level, Mother nature seems to weld the brake drum to the shoes and stuff. I had one that was not even that deep and had to literally cut the drums off with a torch. EVERYTHING inside the drum was a solid chunk of rust. EVERYTHING. The taper on the axle was so pitted once I drove what remained of the hub off I was afraid to use it.
