Early V8 Brake Drum
 

I need a rear brake drum of the style used on the 1932-1935 and 1939 Fords. Any help out there?

Al, I think 32-34 are the same, but 35 are wider. As you said your brakes are 1.75", I think you have 32-34 drums.

39 are completely different, a wide 5 setup, the same through 36-39. (with detail differences).

You should be able to scrounge up some 32-34's because lots of people take off the early stuff and fit the 40-48 parts.

Are those the slotted, or open style, I have a friend that has some, he was going to give them to me. I have no use for them, but he may still have them.

Hi, Ralph: The drum is solid, no slots or open spaces. It bolts, or presses, together with the hub, by a 4 inch hole in the middle. I'm thinking it's a 1933 wheel.

Ralph, the slotted type are on the front, the rears are solid.

Ralph, I would be interested in one of those, and I would expect tp pay for it.

I see, I will head over to his place today and see if he still has them.
