I did the 9" to 10" drum swap, as I had a 10" setup available. Just discovered that orig 13" rims don't fit on 10" drums - the bent part of inner rim web holds wheel 1/2" from drum face. Dang. Thought I could keep still ok tires & hubcaps. Guess I am in the market for SBP 14" wheels eh?

Which 10" drums? A friend had a '66 Barracuda with 10" drums and 13" wheels as original.

There are different types of 13" wheels, and IIRC the early ones will not fit drums bigger than 9" (or SBP discs).

Yes, there are two different rim types for the 13" and the eariler ones do not work w/ 10 drum brakes.
The good news, I have some extra "wide face" SBP 13" rims and even a set of 14" SBP wheels & tires... in Sunnyvale, CA so drop me a PM.
