How do I measure to see what size drums I have on my 1974 Dart Custom? I'm trying to figure out if I have tens in back. I plan on putting disc brakes on the front and the 10" rear, disc front combo I had on my 75 worked great.
If I have 9" rear drums, would you recommend replacing them with 10s?
Thanks

Remove one tire from the rear axle and see what MAX DIA. is cast into the drum. That will tell you your drum size.

Upgrading to larger brakes is always a good idea.

You can measure the inside diameter of the drum with a ruler or measuring tape.
