I have a 67 Dart with 8 3/4" rear end, 10" brakes, five bolt, and what looks to be 3.8" bolt circle on this beast. None of which came standard on this car.

I have identified 1 3/4" shoes, & cylinder from a 73' Dart. The brake drum I have not identified, it dose not match the newer A bodies.

The big problem is missing parking brake levers, and struts so the parking brake cables can be installed.

Slant 6 Dan listed several Chrysler part numbers, and a cylinder up grade back one page:

Chrysler/Dodge dealer parts:

4882 808 (lever, right)
4882 809 (lever, left)
4761 806 (strut, right)
4761 807 (strut, left)

Take the opportunity to install 13/16" bore wheel cylinders in your new 10" rear brakes while you're at it — does a terrific job cleaning up the A-body rear lockup problem. NAPA-United 37696, Raybestos WC37696, Wagner F113704, or ACDelco 18E268 is the wheel cylinder you want — times two (left = right).


Are these parts still available?

This rear axle was optional on your car so the brake parts like shoes, wheel cylinders and drums are pretty easy to find. The shoes and drums at a minimum are different from '73 and newer cars though.

Call a Dodge dealer if you want to know if the brake levers and struts are available.

The wheel cylinders can come from an decent auto parts store.

I called the nearest local dealer (100 miles from here) they had two of the items for $28 each...

I asked what these parts cross to knowing these guys don't keep old inventory. These part numbers are from 97-99 Dakota truck. So it is off to junk yard land, also 100 miles from here in the same direction,...

I would post a wanted over on Moparts and have the stuff mailed to you. I have parking brake levers and struts for the later 10x2.5" brakes, but don't know if they fit. If someone can do us the favor if tell us they fit or not you can have 'em for $10 plus shipping.
