The rear axle I am using has 10 x 2 1/2" brakes. My drums are smooth... no fins. Rock Auto lists finned drums for that application. Are they really interchangeable? I could get smooth drums from Autozone but... well, enough said about that.

Growing older is unavoidable but growing up is strictly optional.

Yes, finned 10x2.5" drums go right on in place of the plain ones. In my experience F-body wagons got finned drums, sedans and coupes got plain ones.

I just got a set of 10 X 2.5" finned drums from Rockauto...made in the USA.
