Anybody have a source for these REAR drums??? :?

I was told that a 10 X 1 3/4" Front Drum could be rebored (center) to fit this but it doesn't sound like the right way to go ?????
This is a 1970 Dodge Dart.
Thanks :wink:

Looks like that one's discontinued up one brand and down the other. :-( Check with Old Car Parts Northwest and see if they have 'em. I've never heard of reworking a front drum to fit on the rear...h'mmm. :shrug:

OK how about this; My 2001 Cherokee (NOT Grand Cherokee) has 10X1-3/4 brakes and a 5 on 4-1/2 hub. Think they might possibly work (correct offset and such) for you?? You'd need the drum for 'Police/HD" or else youll get a 9X2-1/2 drum. Bring yours in and ask to see one for my Jeep app., and compare them. Several years of the "XJ" Cherokee had a 10" brake option. I do know that AMCs used a 10X1-3/4 for years. Maybe try a couple drums for those apps; though I also know that many AMCs had that stupid a$$ed 2 piece rear axle too, so maybe not. but if your car is SBP this is all wasted space.

Yeah, that's the problem, his is small-bolt. The big-bolt drums are still available.

I had to Brake Down and buy a pair of WAGNER BD60123 new drums and take a chance. :D
Note: NAPA lists this same rear brake drum as PN# UP 6401056 also. In their listing it shows that this is the exact replacement for the BD 60123 Wagner drum BUT shows the bolt pattern as 5 X 4 1/2" not 5 X 4".
This is what stopped me dead in my tracks replacing all the brake parts, minus the backing plates. :?
LO AND BEHOLD they came in last night. They truly ARE 5 X 4" bolt pattern AND smaller holes for the 7/16" studs.
I apologize for this posting/question.
I also wanted to inform whomever may be in the same predicament.
Just a heads-up: I did research many sites, suppliers and brands looking for these drums NEW. The listing at NAPA (now definitely a misprint) did stop me from carrying on with the reman of this A-Body 8 3/4' assembly to be ready to bolt in. The Wagner listing was not specific as to bolt pattern but did indicate this was the drum for the rear of a Mopar A-Body with 10" X 1 3/4" brakes.
Thanks to all. I hope this info helps others. :wink:
