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
Terry

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.  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.
