What size rear brakes were on a 66 Barracuda with a 273 V-8? Car has 10 fronts did the 7 1/4 rear have 9's or 10's? Thanks |

Cars with 7-1/4" rear axles came with 9" or 10" brakes, front and rear, depending on the whole-vehicle specifications and/or what was ordered at new-car purchase time. Always the same diameter front and rear, never 10" fronts with 9" rears or vice versa. The V8 cars came with 10" brakes as standard equipment. |

OK, Thanks. Putting my 66 Cuda back to stock, and wasn't sure which was the correct 7 1/4 rear. |

The rear axle assembly isn't different for 9" vs. 10" brakes; it's just a matter of what parts are bolted onto the ends of the axle tubes. |
