It's a whole different system, 3" wide x 11" diameter.  Detailed article in the 7/03 WPC News by... well I'll be... one of our FL members, Neil Vedder.  Donors can be obtained from 1963-64 New Yorker or Dodge wagons, or 1965-73 if you include the lower control arms.

Rodger,

Excuse my ignorance on this but is the newer Bendix duo-servo drum brakes just a different material on the shoe or is this a different system?   My 56 Dodge is running the stock drum brakes and stops just fine for a 40+ year old car but if a different material on the shoes would help, I am all over it.

There was an article not too long ago in WPC news about replacing center plane brakes with newer Bendix duo-servo drum brakes.  I can tell you from my '66 Plymouth, they'll stop you on a dime.
